UIC held the 13th International Postgraduate Education Information Fair online from 19 to 25 October 2022, offering a channel for UIC students to communicate with overseas colleges and universities.
Nearly 50 elite schools from various regions and countries participate in the activity, including the QS top 100 institutions: The University of Hong Kong, Columbia University, the University of California, Berkeley, the University of Toronto and more. In addition, cooperatively-run schools, such as UIC, Duke Kunshan University, and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), also attend the event with their postgraduate programmes.
Besides sharing information and handling students’ inquiries, the participants look forward to future cooperation with UIC.
Representative of Columbia University Xiao Na said that although it was the first time Columbia University joined the event, it expected further cooperation with UIC. The University of California, Berkeley, has attended the activity for the fourth time, and its manager Echo Xiao believes there will be more collaboration between the two parties in the future.
