Dear freshmen,
As Vilnius University Business School (VUBS) student Boris Kim says, Go further than you are right now. The "Asian track" course - developed for freshmen by the VUBS in cooperation with the VU Confucius Institute - offers an opportunity to develop new competencies and acquire intercultural knowledge beyond the more familiar Europe.
If you are a VUBS freshman, try the "Asian track" course to learn about the cultural characteristics of Asian countries, the Chinese language, and how to successfully develop business in Asian markets. And while learning Chinese can be challenging, the practice of speaking the language facilitates integration in a foreign country and opens up more career paths.
To expand your limits next year, you still can still apply until December 12th for the "Asian Track" course.
The competition is open for 1st-year bachelor students who submit a free-form application and a cover letter to the Study Service in the Vilnius University Information System (VU IS) by the deadline (specified above).
What is waiting for you?
- Chinese language and Asian culture courses during semesters II-IV,
- a certificate confirming completion of the course,
- a semester of exchange at a university in South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, or Taiwan and/or a summer camp.
How the competition works:
- The selection committee will organize motivational interviews after the 12th of December.
- This module is organized for groups of at least 10-12 and no more than 20 students.
- Students will be informed by the 15th of December whether or not they are accepted to an "Asian track" course group.
- Chinese language teaching is provided in English-Chinese.
You can hear more about "Asian Track" from students who have already tried the course. In the interview with Boris Kim and Andrea Carolina Ramirez Salaverria, 4th year International Business (in English) students at VUBS, they share experiences about Chinese language classes and bilateral exchange programs at Hong Kong and Singapore universities.
