GAC Gap Year Learn Chinese & Internship in China Program

After finishing school in Ireland, I didn't want to just travel – I wanted to do something meaningful. GAC's gap year program in Shanghai was perfect. I interned at a marketing agency in the mornings and studied Mandarin at Fudan University in the afternoons. The team arranged everything – my internship, classes, shared apartment, and even weekend trips to Hangzhou and Suzhou. I came back with real work experience, improved Chinese, and job offers.
