The advantages of the training
- Visit of a delegation from the Faculty of Economics to Beijing and Boading High Schools (October 2019)
Within the framework of the University Diplomas "Preparation for university studies for non-French speaking students", the persons in charge, Edmond Baranes and Mathias Reymond, went to China, to Beijing and Boading, in October 2019 in order to establish partnerships with several high schools.
The aim of these meetings was to present the courses offered by the UFR of Economics in Montpellier, but also to present the DU which allow foreign students (especially Chinese) to learn French.
Interviews with school principals, teachers and students were fruitful as many students expressed their ambition to come to Montpellier to continue their studies.
In the next few months, DU leaders are expected to visit other Chinese high schools and cities (Shanghai, Chengdu...).
Below are some pictures of the visits to the Chinese schools.
Here is also a link to the visit of Mr Baranes and Mr Reymond to the Lycée n°3 of Boading: https: //mp.weixin.qq.com/s/wEXBFzBBzwQ2cYNTxbVLIg
