20 20 Dongbei University of Finance and Economics Meet the teaching faculty The growing influence of China globally makes it a great place to live and experience before settling down for your first job. Either as a China enthusiast or a sceptic, we welcome you to DUFE to explore more about China, while receiving a world class university education.

22 22 Dongbei University of Finance and Economics Activities to enhance your employability Studying in China will help you develop a range of skills and competencies that global employers look for. We offer everything you need to meet their expectations, including high-quality degrees, masterclasses and a range of extracurricular activities to showcase your achievements. 80% of INTO China graduates are working in their home country Develop a strong and diverse guanxi. EXPANDING ECONOMY China s economy is growing rapidly with new job and investment opportunities being created every year and new international companies setting up and investing here on a monthly basis. The uplift in the number of organisations opening in China in recent years means there are valuable employment opportunities for you to explore after you graduate. The continued investment and expansion will also provide plenty of scope for career development and promotion in the future. LANGUAGE SKILLS Studying abroad is the best way to pick up the language very quickly. Within a couple of months you will have learned the basics and if you work hard, within a year you should be able to hold a decent conversation in Mandarin, the mother tongue of one fifth of the world s population. It is still rare to find non-chinese people who can communicate well and by developing your language skills you will be elevated above other wai guo ren (foreigners) conducting business in China.

23 XXXX 23 BUSINESS SKILLS The Chinese are well known for their tough negotiation skills and agile business minds. If you become familiar with Chinese business practice, you will acquire the acumen to conduct negotiations all over the world. GUANXI (NETWORKING) It is possible to find work in China from abroad, but job websites are not the usual way that Chinese people look for work. If you are considering working in China in the future, living in the country will ensure you will build strong guanxi. While you are a student in China, you will have time to make new friends and get to know your professors (many also have consultancy projects or businesses). Building these friendships not only creates a personal relationship, but also a potential business relationship. If a suitable position comes up, many Chinese people would rather give the position to a friend of a friend they trust, rather than to advertise.

24 24 Dongbei University of Finance and Economics Small group sizes provide opportunities for group discussion and interaction Develop your network of potential employers and business contacts in China Masterclasses As one of the fastest-growing economies in the world, China offers new and exciting career opportunities for those with the skills and experience to succeed.

26 26 Dongbei University of Finance and Economics My life in China Regina Nicole from Indonesia is in her third year studying BA International Business Management at DUFE. INTERNATIONAL CLASSMATES Every semester I have some new classmates. I think over 50 countries are represented including USA, Thailand, Senegal and France. It s really cool because you don t need to go to other countries to learn about new cultures. I decided to study International Business Management because I had an interest in business at high school and because I recognised China is booming and growing.

27 Destination China 27 WORK EXPERIENCE I have a part-time job where I help develop a website for international people in Dalian. We look at what people need when they move here and try to offer the best information. My manager is from China and sometimes we chat in Chinese which is a good way for me to practise the language. I usually eat out rather than cook because I like to try different Chinese food. My favourite dish is guo bao rou. STUDENT COMPETITION I helped organise a competition for international students where they had to present a business idea, make a marketing video and solve some case studies. The University and INTO supported it and helped fund the prize, which was a tablet. NOT ONLY THEORY We learn about real work situations and discuss lots of case studies rather than just learn theories from books. I really like the Marketing module where my lecturers are from the UK and USA. FIND OTHER STUDENTS EXPERIENCES
