Program Overview

Spend eight weeks in Shanghai, China’s largest city and financial hub, where you can gain professional experience in fields like IT, finance, business development, marketing, and more. You don’t need prior Chinese language study to take part—just a drive to grow your intercultural and professional skills in one of the world’s most dynamic business environments. Along the way, experience the culture and flavor of Shanghai, from futuristic skybridges to traditional soup dumplings. This global city offers countless opportunities to expand your perspective both in and out of the workplace. You can also choose to take an elective course during the first four weeks to earn additional academic credit. This is an exclusive IFSA-designed program.
