RBS Sees Significant Rise in Number of Outgoing Exchange Students

Overseas exchange programs, an important dimension of RBS' internationalization endeavor, aim to broaden students' horizons, train their adapatability to different environments, enhance their competitiveness in job-hunting, as well as promote the School's reputation globally. So far, RBS has signed exchange agreements with over 60 leading overseas institutions, such as School of Industrial and Labor Relations Cornell University, Darla Moore School of Business University of South Carolina, Management School Lancaster University, and Quinn School of Business University College Dublin. All programs are one-semester long and tuition fees are waived for RBS students except for living expenses.

Application for 2014 fall semster exchange programs has been recently completed, with a total of 79 students signing up, representating a dramatic increase of 43.6% compared to the same period of last year. To encourage students' engagement in exchange programs, both the University and RBS have introduced a series of incentives, including subsidization, credit transfer and recommondation to graduate studies. In September 2013, RBS officially launched a one-million student exchange fund which applies to RBS' outgoing undergraduate exchange students. Also, a special aid will be provided for financially disprivileged students and students from the dual major Business-English class. In addition, the China Scholarship Council (CSC) offers funding to RBS' exchange students studying in eight schools, including airfare reimbursement and living cost subsidies.

RBS' International Affairs Office is dedicated to offering high quality service by exploring multiple channels to faciliate communication and share information between students, including online Q&A,
