Cooperation between VU Business School and VU Confucius Institute opens up new opportunities for business study students – the new China Track study module proposed by two institutions will allow the development of new competencies, acquisition of intercultural knowledge, which are essential for the development of business in the Chinese market.
Students' interest in this module has proven that China Track is a particularly attractive field of study – 28 motivated first-year students of the International Business program participated in the selection process.
Member of the commission, students’ representative Augustė Bagdonavičiūtė after the selection process commented: “Although I didn't have this opportunity myself, being a first-year student, it was very exciting and interesting to listen to every applicant. I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that we have so many enthusiastic, creative, and motivated students in Business School who already have their own business ideas or even already have started working on them. I really believe that China Track project will help them to become better entrepreneurs!"
The students who participated in the selection have chosen the China Track module for various reasons – some of them planned to link their business to the Chinese market, others were already cooperating with partners from China, there were also those whose family roots were in this country, so the desire to learn the language of ancestors was highly expressed.
The 18 selected participants of the China Track module will start studying the Chinese language and culture from the Spring semester. After completing the two-year course, the students will have the opportunity to choose an exchange semester at a Chinese university or a summer camp.
