If you're interested in studying in China but don't know where to go, remember CUCAS is here to help!

Who? Robin Li is the founder of Baidu, and is currently China’s wealthiest man, with a net worth of nearly 10 billion USD. Doesn’t ring a bell? How about Wu Yajun, China’s wealthiest woman and the richest self-made woman in the world! Still doesn’t ring a bell? Then you need to get with the (MBA) program! Check out the selection of English-taught international MBA programs on offer on CUCAS and immerse yourself in the world of Chinese business.

Shanghai Advanced Institute of Finance now open for admission on CUCAS

Want to understand the world of Chinese business while living in its leading city? Former leader Deng Xiaoping once described Shanghai as the head of the Chinese dragon, and from a business perspective, this is definitely where it’s at. The Shanghai Advanced Institute of Finance (SAIF), part of the highly regarded Shanghai Jiaotong University, is currently offering two English-taught post-graduate degrees: the  Finance MBA program and Master of Finance. SAIF sets itself apart with its strong focus on finance and its world-class faculty, with lecturers with teaching and research experience from institutions such as MIT, Columbia, Princeton and UC-Berkeley. Don’t just study Chinese business from a book. Live and breathe it in Shanghai, the financial capital of the Chinese century, with SAIF.

FAQ

Is it possible to buy foreign food in China?

Yes and No. China is a huge country, with towns ranging in size and location from international coastal megalopolises to tiny hillside villages, so the availability and range of food understandably varies from place to place. In most medium-sized cities and larger, you will find coffee shops and typical American chains such as McDonalds (Maidanglao) and KFC (Kendeji), or perhaps a similarly-named Chinese approximation of them (Maideken, anyone?). Korean food, especially BBQ, is also quite prevalent throughout the country.

In other places, the type of foreign food available often depends on where the city is located. For example, in cities along the Russian frontier, such as Harbin, Russian food is quite popular. And in the south and south-west, where China shares a border with South-East Asian nations, Thai and Vietnamese restaurants are not uncommon sights. While in the remote west, the local cuisine can seem almost Middle Eastern.

And, in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, expats and trendy locals can choose from cuisine from nearly every corner of the world, including Western and Eastern Europe, Africa, the Middle East and South America.

But while you’re in China, don’t forget to take the opportunity to try the local cuisine. You will discover that ‘Chinese’ is not a sufficiently accurate description of the myriad of regional cuisines in this huge country.

Every week, we'll send out a newsletter concerning studying in China. Don't forget, you can always contact our dedicated student service team for a free consultation about where to study.
