Grab the opportunity to explore China & network with students from top Chinese universities
Programme Dates: 10-24 March 2009 (in Singapore) & 12-26 May 2009 (in China)
The Sino-Singapore Undergraduate Exchange Programme is a prestigious programme spearheaded by the respective Ministry of Education (MOE) of Singapore and China. It aims to instill Singaporean students with a global perspective and understanding on China and its potential, and to expose the Chinese students to life and education in Singapore.
The programme comprises of two parts: 15-day Singapore Programme (hosted by Singapore MOE and the 3 local universities respectively) and another 15-day China Programme (hosted by MOE P.R.C and the 4 participating Chinese Universities).
The programme includes visits to the participating universities, networking sessions with the local students (through games, team work etc.), cultural exchange, excursion trips and visit to government organisations and private companies. There will be a total of 100 participants, 50 each from both countries.
