UIC cultivates their strong English skills, said Liu Zuwen of the Applied Economics Programme.
UIC's English-teaching environment
Liu and her fellow students gradually adapted to the English-teaching and internationalised environment, and became comfortable communicating in English in class. They also learned to persevere and pre-study before every class to increase efficiency and prepare for future study abroad and career opportunities.

UIC's curriculum setting enables students to explore interdisciplinary knowledge, to which Guo Lingyi from the Media Arts and Design Programme agreed.
She said the College provided them with courses highlighting theories and practice, helping them find a career path they were fond of and suitable for.

One of the most significant skills they have acquired is time management, as the College offers a rigorous academic curriculum and a variety of extracurricular activities, said a student of the Statistics Programme.
They learned to effectively plan their schedules and prioritise tasks to cope with these demands. Such ability would be helpful in their future careers and personal lives.
