Download While universities in the United States remain the biggest targets for Chinese students who want to pursue study overseas, universities in European countries that teach in a foreign language other than English are becoming increasingly popular. The 19th China International Education Exhibition Tour opened its first stop over the weekend in Beijing, with more than 400 universities from 20 countries and regions taking part. About 100 were from non-English-speaking countries. Some colleges and universities from France have arranged face-to-face interviews with Chinese applicants. Students can bring their language scores and materials proving their school performance to the interviewers and meet the admission staff. "Interview results may not be a full guarantee for your admission to the university, but a good interview performance will definitely add to your enrollment score," said Shu Bourgeon, international officer from ESC Rennes School of Business in France. Zhang Wan, a Beijing university student who helps out at the reception desk of the French universities' exhibition area, said that more than 400 student applicants made appointments for face-to-face interviews with the 22 universities and institutions from France at the exhibition. "This has been my second time working here as a volunteer," she said. "I've noticed that the numbers have increased, although I don't really know by how many," she said. |
