Your journey with us in China will offer with lots of opportunities, and I strongly encourage you to embrace each of them. On top of the knowledge, skills, and business support provided I do hope that you observe, discover and be curious of the outstanding country that China is in order to fulfil your potential. Suzhou, with its rich cultural heritage and thriving business ecosystem, is one of the most vibrant places to learn, grow, and make a difference for your future career,” said the campus director.
