Economics Internships in China

Taking a gap year with Go Abroad China (GAC) was the best decision I’ve ever made. I spent the year improving my Chinese through immersive language classes, living with a host family, and interning at a local media company in Shanghai. The program structure was well-balanced, offering both academic and professional growth. The cultural experiences—like weekend trips, calligraphy workshops, and Mandarin corners—made every week exciting and enriching. GAC’s staff were incredibly supportive, helping with everything from visa processing to language tutoring and career advice. This gap year didn’t just help me build my resume—it helped me build my character. I returned home more confident, focused, and globally aware. If you’re considering a gap year that combines travel, learning, and real-world experience, I highly recommend this program.

Taking a gap year with Go Abroad China was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I spent the first few months learning Mandarin at a local university, and the rest interning with a startup in Beijing. The experience gave me both academic enrichment and professional development—all in one unforgettable year. The cultural exposure was incredible—from learning calligraphy to celebrating Chinese festivals with new friends. I also built lifelong connections with people from all over the world. This program helped me grow in confidence, independence, and perspective. I’m returning home with valuable language skills and real-world experience that will give me an edge in college and beyond.
