At the beginning of the meeting, LIU Tianjiao extended a warm welcome to the three guests, and then introduced a series of in-depth cooperation between SoB, GDUFS and Audencia Business School, France. WANG Min first introduced the long history, global ranking, rich and diverse courses and the strong alumni corporate network of Audencia Business School. The cooperation between GDUFS and Audencia Business School helps the two universities to share high-quality resources and promote the common development of both sides. Besides, she introduced in detail some key information such as the application requirements and application materials of the “3+1+1” Bachelor’s-Master’s Degree Project, which provided a clear guide for the students to apply for the program.

Based on his own experience, alumnus LIU Jianghong introduced some basic information of the project and the study in France. He claimed, “the experience of studying in France has given me the opportunity to fully explore the possibilities of myself in a variety of ways, so that I can grow into an independent person and understand that being myself is one of the ways to succeed. Besides, I have further improved the cognition of myself, while being exposed to a more diverse society”. LIU Jianghong also put forward some suggestions to his fellow schoolmates, such as learning French in advance and improving academic skills, which benefited the present students a lot.

He encouraged students to actively participate in cross-border exchange programs to broaden their international horizons.
