Chinese Culture Summer Program 2019
Feeling China: An Exploration of Chinese Culture
Shanghai International Studies University
Upholding the motto of “Integrity, Vision and Academic Excellence”, Shanghai International Studies University (SISU) is an internationally recognized, prestigious academic institution distinctive for its multidisciplinary and multicultural nature, committed to preparing innovative professionals and future global leaders for a wide range of international expertise to address the critical challenges of our times.
School of English Studies
The School of English Studies (SES) was founded in 1956. It is the largest college in faculty and students number at SISU. It has developed a complete educational system including BA, MA and Ph.D programs in English-related disciplines. The English Language and Literature Program offered by SES has been listed by China’s Ministry of Education for its prominence in teaching and research as “One of the Best Six” among the 1,000 programs of the kind in Chinese universities.
Chinese Culture Summer Program
For thousands of years, China has been an important contributor to the diversity and splendor of the world civilization. Despite its well-acknowledged significance as an economic and political power, much less is known about its culture and much more is to be explored, to be felt, to be understood and to be appreciated. In this increasingly interconnected world, to maintain a truly global perspective, an understanding of China is indispensable
Students participating in this program will attend 15 well-knit lectures, all in English. Oversea students and SISU students will work together on the program toward a better understanding of China, especially the Chinese culture and how it relates to the world.
Shanghai, on China’s the eastern coastline, is one of the largest cities in China. Located in the downtown of this affluent, exciting and glamorous city, SISU is next to many of the great cultural, social and entertainment attractions. We look forward to having international students on SISU campus for “Feeling China: An Exploration of Chinese Culture, 2019”.
