On November 11th ,2021, SEM’s second Study Abroad Fair under the theme of “November International Month” was successfully held simultaneously in Tongji Building A and on the ZOOM online live broadcast platform. Relying on SEM’s long-lasting emphasis on internationalization and the good reputation brought by the first-year activity, this year the study abroad fair once again received great attention from students at all levels and majors, with more than 350 registrants. Ms. DONG Bianlin, Deputy Dean of SEM, Ms. YUAN Yuan, Director of International Joint Training Office from the Graduate School of Tongji University, Ms. PEI Pei, Ph.D. student counsellor from SEM Student Affairs Office, Ms. SHOU Yuexian, Director of SEM International Cooperation and Accreditation Office as well as the whole team of SEM international Office attended the meeting.

Ms. DONG Bianlin first addressed the meeting. She stressed on the efforts and the achievements made by school in international cooperation and development, encouraged students to seize the opportunity during the university period and actively participate in overseas exchange programs. She hoped that all the students could study hard in a down-to-earth manner and make efforts to broaden their horizons, in order to lay a good foundation for a more brilliant future.

Ms. CHEN Difei from the International Cooperation and Accreditation Office and Ms. YUAN Yuan from the Graduate School of Tongji University introduced in detail the overseas exchange programs as well as the scholarship programs, at school level and national / university level respectively. A Q&A session was then arranged for all the participants to have an interaction on the problems that students might encounter in the application process.

Ms. PEIPei from the Student Affairs Office, as a witness, shared with the participants the problems she faced and the experience she gained in the stage of application, especially the efforts and the difficulties she met in finding overseas tutor. She also shared with everyone her wonderful life experiences when studying abroad. Four outstanding alumni representatives: TANG Yinan, WANG Zhe, HU Siyuan and ZHOU Xi also recorded videos for the activity to share their overseas experience. They said that their overseas exchange experience not only improved their ability to solve problems independently, but also broadened their horizons by exposing them to different cultures and lifestyles around the world, which played an enlightening role in their future career development.

Internationalization has always been one of the distinctive features of SEM. It has always been one of our key missions to expand the multi-level and interactive international vision for college students. At present, the school has established cooperative relations with more than 100 world-renowned business schools from more than 30 countries, signed more than 30 double-degree student exchange programs and more than 70 non-degree student exchange programs, which offers more than 360 overseas exchange places to students every year.

The “November International Month” series with the theme of overseas exchange was launched for the first time in 2021 to help students fully understand the overseas exchange program, make better use of school resources to study in excellent partner institutions abroad, and to enhance their international competitiveness. It also intended to improve the quality of international talent cultivation of SEM, and meet the new talents demand in the national “The Belt and Road” strategy.

As a continuation of the “November International Month”, every Wednesday afternoon in November is designated as the International Exchange consultation Day for students to have one-on-one consultation at the International Cooperation and Accreditation Office.
