In 2019, UIC intends to enrol 1750 students across the Mainland China, of which 700 are being planned to be recruited from the Guangdong province.

Each academic programme set up a booth to provide on-site consultation, and each division launched mock classes for the high school students, allowing them to experience UIC’s teaching and learning environment beforehand. Meanwhile, UIC student volunteers toured the visitors around the campus.

“The internationalised education of UIC will be good to the further development of students, laying a foundation for their future employment and further education,” said Ms Sun, a parent who came from Shanxi to learn more about UIC. She was impressed by UIC’s Learning Resource Centre where there are plentiful modern learning resources and materials.
