  • Student feedback

    I enjoyed the presentations, as it gave me a better understanding of China and the recruitment system. The Internet Thinking presentation was interesting, as I learnt plenty about China technology and its various usage.

    - Bachelor of Commerce (International Business)

    My main objective was to prove to myself that I can face new challenges and outperform myself in the workplace. I feel as though I achieved this, especially after discussing my performance with my supervisor at work. She wrote me a lengthy recommendation letter, which she was not required to which I felt was a validation of my performance听during the 3 weeks at BOE.

    -听Bachelor of International Studies

    The program was well-structured and I felt that its goals were met in helping students gain useful working experience and knowledge of other cultures. This experience helped me achieve my objectives which were to experience the culture in a foreign country and enhance my employability.听
