With the support of the Global Engagement Office, they travelled to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chengdu to visit universities such as Zhejiang University, Guangzhou University of Technology, and Shanghai University as well as international schools and met students and alumni.
Dr Bilgic states, ‘In line with the University Strategy, ‘Creating Better Futures. Together’, SSH has a global vision that aims to build up research relations, student and alumni community across the world. China is an important country in this process. The trip was an excellent opportunity to meet students in four cities across China and talked to them about the key advantages of studying at SSH for their careers. It was also an opportunity to visit some of the best universities in China, to deepen our teaching and research partnerships.’
Dr Kim, who gave several lectures during the trip, says, "I enjoyed the conversations with students and staff during my visit to Chinese universities. I believe the university's visit to China this time was rewarding, and I hope to continue developing our relationship with our partners in the future."
