Hi Millie!

Finally found someone from this school haha!

Thx for your reply.

Actually I will be in 3rd year of Bachelor for the first semester.I'm in the exchange program of SIFT, don't really know which program exactly!

I would like to know if we can choose the classes and if yes, which ones are more interesting or difficults...
Then how the exams are? Continuous assesment or only final exam?
Are the classes everyday, more in the morning or more in the afternoon?
Is it easy to do sports there?

Sorry, too many questions....

Thx in advance!

Are u still in Shanghai ?

Hi Max

I'm Shanghainese ^^ working in Shanghai now

usually your programm has been fixed - there are four main departments in SIFT: economics, finance&accounting, law and language.

can't tell which one is more interesting - i did economics but fancy marketing hehe

there are mid-term exams and final exams (before the holidays), 2 terms a year, not like in UK.  The scores are based on your final exam scores, mid-term score, attendance rate and homework, perhaps 50% 30% 10% 10%, depends on the tutor.

classes could be in the morning, afternoon or even evening, better stick on the timetable uni give to you, tutors call the roll sometimes.

sports is ok. football, basketball, tennis, swimming, badminton and more

glad i can help ^^

Hey friends,

Could you tell me.. how can my friend, (has done a course in Foreign Trade) can find a job in Shanghai in this line of work. She is from China itself. But little does she know about finding a job in this area.

Also could you suggest the titles that she can apply for?

Would be obliged to get your informative replies...

Best regards,
Prashant
