Software Engineering Internship Was a Career Catalyst

My 6-month AI internship in Shanghai gave me unparalleled hands-on experience. I worked on real machine learning models alongside senior engineers. GAC handled all the complex logistics, from visa sponsorship to a great apartment, letting me focus 100% on coding and professional growth. This experience was a direct line to my current job in tech.

Studying at BLCU through GAC provided an academic intensity

Studying at BLCU through GAC provided an academic intensity I craved, paired with a living, breathing context you can’t get from a textbook. The professors are experts who teach you to dissect the language's logic and history, not just memorize it. Campus life is a continuous, immersive dialogue with students from across China and the world, turning the cafeteria and library into extensions of the classroom. The program expertly blends rigorous instruction with cultural application, ensuring you don't just learn to speak Chinese—you learn to understand the worldview it contains. A truly foundational experience for serious learners.
