Valentin Chen | Graduate student from ESCP Business School, Fall 2023
As I say to everyone who ask me if I liked my exchange at Fudan: It was truly a life experience that I value and will never forget. It shifted my perspective on professional opportunities, where I wanted to work and with what kind of people. I met passionate, talented, and ambitious people with who I bonded and became close friend. I also know now what it means to live in China and more specifically in Shanghai and it will always be a part of me. Overall, what I mean is that if you are curious, open-minded and adventurous, Fudan is definitely the choice to make.
Marcus Engström | Graduate student from Stockholm School of Economics, Fall 2023
I really enjoyed my exchange semester at Fudan and the opportunity to get to know the Chinese culture. Shanghai is an amazing city and there is always something happening. The school did a great job of welcoming us. Also outside of university, and despite the language barriers, people were helpful and very curious to meet foreigners. I can strongly recommend Fudan and Shanghai as destinations for an exchange semester.
Orfee De Corte | Undergraduate student from Copenhagen Business School, Fall 2023
My exchange at Fudan was one of those moments in life that I will always gladly reminisce about. People who apply to Fudan are ambitious intelligent and inspiring people that I will stay in contact for years to come. Professors speak from real-life experiences, giving you a taste of the real world. If you are a student willing to open your mind and learn, exchange at Fudan will be one of those that you won't regret. Fudan staff, especially that of the exchange office is also extremely helpful, they made sure that we don't only have a smooth journey of immersing into the university setting, they also make sure you get a taste of what china has to offer by an introductory week that has you meet and bond with all the new exchange students while trying out taichi, drinking traditional tea and drifting down ancient water canals.
Nicole Liu | Undergraduate student from University of Southern California, Fall 2023
I love my semester spent with Fudan overall. I made some of the best memories I will cherish forever. I think Fudan had a good vibe where everyone is friendly and easy to work with. I especially thank Fudan faculty for having us and providing resources. Besides locating in the heart of China, Fudan offers great connections and opportunities. It's different than my home school and I like how I could experience a different set of college life. I would recommend others to go to Fudan and exchange.
Philip Scheu | Graduate student from University of St.Gallen, Spring 2019
My experience at Fudan was outstanding because of the valuable academic experiences I have made and the competent and helpful staff who supported us exchange students during our time in Shanghai.
Lim Jia Xin | Undergraduate Student from Singapore Management University, Spring 2018
"I enjoyed my exchange at Fudan because of the variety of courses offered. The entire experience was relatively great and I get to meet many students from other countries. Living on campus also allowed me to truly enjoy the experience since I get to live like a local students and I really like shopping online and ordering food online due to the convenience."
Elizabeth | Undergraduate Student from Singapore Management University, Spring 2018
"A great experience where you will make many new friends and discover the wonders of China. I wish I had more time there- An exchange experience with no regrets."
Enzo | Undergraduate Student from EAESP - FGV, Spring 2018
"Going to Fudan was one of the few decisions I made that were not just "because I could", or "because I need to". I wasn't complying to someone else's wishes or plans, I was just doing what I felt like would be, well, fun. It was quite the experience. Cycling through campus, reading by trees, grabing something interesting looking to eat at the canteen. It helped me slow down and enjoy my university life, something I was leaving aside in my home university. For that, I'm grateful."
Isabelle | MBA Student from Grenoble Ecole de Management, Spring 2018
"I would definitely recommend Fudan's Graduate program. You will be surprised by the quality of the courses, and will surely learn new things. You will also enjoy its wonderful campus, and of course, you will meet amazing people - coming from so many different backgrounds - throughout your journey there."
Timo | MBA Student from University of Münster, Spring 2018
"As for me, the exchange semester at Fudan University was a complete success: studying in an international context at a prestigious university and living in an exciting city in a different culture was a highly valuable experience."
Kai Lv| MBA Student from IMBA, FDSM, Fall 2017
"Exchange study is really meaningful experience during my two years MBA time. The biggest challenge is how to go beyond yourself, when you study in totally new environment. In term of my exchange in University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia, language is toughest obstacle. Especially this happened when I only understand 10% percentage in the first session of my most interested course. Other challenges includes culture gap, life style, even different internet tools. Although they give me troubles, but all of them are also opportunities for me to level up international view. So keep being bravely and insistence in mind, you will have the most memorable exchange experience. "
Miao Tian | MBA Student from IMBA, FDSM, Fall 2017
"Four months of exchange life in the States is one of the most precious experiences in my life. It was a great honor to spend the time with the professors and MBA students from one of the top Business Schools. Through the conversations and discussions, I realize our strengths and weakness as a Chinese student, which definitely helps me to understand where should my focus on areas of improvement should land. At the same time, it offers me an opportunity to broaden my vision and enables me to be more independent. The exchange program indeed adds value to the IMBA program and I would strongly recommend you to consider."
Qingfu Hu | MBA Student from IMBA, FDSM, Fall 2017
"Exchange program, like everything worth chasing in MBA, is a key component. For me, it’s about cultivating international vision, exploring something fresh, being friends, understanding cultures and infinite possibilities. I did my exchange program in Vienna, Austria, which, has been an unforgettable memory in my life. I gained a lot of noble things by learning and communicating with students form different cultures. It provides an available guide to connect with others. Moreover, exchange is not only about learning something; it’s also about seeing the world. I have to say, exchange is one of the most valuable things I got in Fudan! "
Bonnie | MBA Student from BI-Fudan, FDSM, 2016 Fall
"The exchange program in US is the most precious experience of my life. I feel so grateful that Fudan can provide this awesome opportunity to enrich my study journey. The life in US has really broaden my horizon and gave me strong sense of what diverse cultures really mean. I have explored a new world through the intense classes and various activities which is a true reflection of "work hard and play hard”. Lastly, the most valuable thing for me is knowing myself much better than before!"
Siddharth | MBA Student from IMBA, FDSM, Fall 2017
"The NUS exchange study was indeed a great experience by all means. It opened up many avenues for me to explore and learn. It also gave me the opportunity to connect and engage with peers from multiple nationalities. The choice of electives offered by the NUS business school is elaborate and I also took part in a 10 week long Lean Launchpad, an entrepreneurial education program, offered by NUS Enterprise. I would strongly recommend an exchange study at NUS Business school for both the school and the Singapore city are truly dynamic."
Anna Mas | Undergraduate Student from ESADE, Fall 2016
"There is no doubt taking the exchange in Fudan University is one of the best decisions I have ever made. Fudan is a really good university, and you can meet people from all over the world, and it gives you the chance to learn about the other cultures. It has been an incredible experience. Moreover, I had the opportunity to attend to the Mobile Class 2016 and it was just perfect, the organizers were really hard-workers and always paying attention to our necessities. The professors are very accessible, probably 24/7 thanks to WeChat. Another thing that I will miss from the university is the campus life. Back in Spain, my country, we do not have big campuses like that, with many cafes, green areas, cantina, etc. Furthermore, I fell completely in love with Shanghai. Living in a big city as Shanghai gives you a lot of freedom and you know you will never be bored. There are tones of things to do, and every day you discover something new. Fudan University, and Shanghai, you have been nice to me. I will miss this so badly!"
Aman | MBA Student from Schulich School of Business, York University, Canada, Fall 2016
"The exchange experience has been very valuable. I've met people from all over the world, learning new perspectives on life and appreciating diversity even more. Overall, this experience has pushed me to step out of my comfort zone and has allowed me to develop further as a person. I made the right decision with Shanghai and Fudan, I have zero regrets."
Zhang Heng | MBA Student from IMBA 09, FDSM
"The school culture is very open and friendly, promotes networking cooperation and teamwork. Very helpful to establish a solid network in Europe. Be open, get used to hang out with your classmates. ESADE students put great time on networking, don’t let yourself be isolated."
Meng Ji | MBA Student from IMBA 09, FDSM
"It is a nice experience to study there, we can learn a lot of new ideas from people in western countries, because there I took courses with students from HEC and also exchange students from US, Europe and Asia. Professors also have a lot of practical examples to help us to learn about real business world."
