As a sister who studies Dutch 15, I want to answer this question. First of all, as a language university, Shanghai International Studies University undoubtedly has certain advantages in language learning (especially in small languages) compared with other 2 1 1 universities and even 985 universities.
In terms of specialty setting, there are 40 teaching languages in Shanghai and abroad. Include English, Russian, French, German, Spanish, Arabic, Japanese, Greek, Italian, Portuguese, Korean, Persian, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Swedish, Dutch, Hebrew, Ukrainian, Turkish, Hindi, Hungarian, Uzbek, Kazakh and Polish. Tajik, Chinese and other 34 modern languages, and offers courses and lectures in six classical languages and artificial languages, including Latin, ancient Greek, Sanskrit, Old English, classical Syrian and Esperanto.
At present, Shanghai International Studies University has formed a comprehensive discipline pattern with diverse characteristics, which is good at language and literature, and five categories, namely, literature, teaching, economics, management and law, develop in harmony.
From the perspective of teachers, the vast majority of teachers have doctoral or master's degrees; More than 90% of them have studied abroad, and have the ability of bilingual teaching or all-English major teaching.
From the perspective of studying abroad opportunities, since 2007, the College has successively established long-term cooperation programs for students' exchange visits with well-known foreign universities such as Carleton University and Paris Business School. At the same time, the College also plans to send students to Imperial College London, London, The Chinese University of Hong Kong and other internationally renowned universities for holiday study tours. Shanghai International Studies University attaches great importance to the cultivation and expansion of students' internationalization and cross-cultural communication ability, actively carries out exchanges and cooperation with well-known foreign universities, and creates a cross-cultural classroom teaching environment for the cultivation of international talents.
Judging from the canteen, the quality and service of the canteen have been constantly improving. From eating takeout at the beginning to eating the canteen every day, we have recently opened a fitness meal window on the third floor of the canteen!
In addition, it also has a good facility environment. There are more than 57,000 Chinese books and 29,000 English books in the school library and college reference room, and they also provide mirror browsing services for Superstar Digital Library, China Knowledge Network, VIP Periodical Network and more than ten Chinese and foreign databases. Shangwai Library is my favorite place ~
In short, as an international student who is about to graduate, I feel very lucky to choose an international student!
