Student testimonial
“I chose the MFGCE Guangzhou 2026 program because I wanted to experience business and culture in a completely different environment. My biggest takeaway was learning that being open-minded and adaptable is important when working and communicating across different cultures. Visiting companies like BYD and VIP.com, experiencing their workplaces firsthand and working on a final project with a local SYSU student gave me experiences I could not have had at Â鶹ÊÓƵor during a traditional exchange term. Overall, the program helped me grow personally and professionally by becoming more comfortable with unfamiliar situations and learning to appreciate different ways of doing things."
