3rdMOST POPULAR CITY FOR INTERNATIONAL VISITORS
Dongbei University of Finance and Economics is located in
Dalian in North East China. With its beautiful coastal location
and a mild climate, it is one of the most vibrant cities in
China and a great place to live and study. Voted China’s most
liveable city (China Daily Newspaper), Dalian offers a unique
blend of European, Russian, Japanese and traditional Chinese
architecture reflecting the city’s fascinating history.
DALIAN
ABOUT
A centre for trade and finance, Dalian is one of China’s most
prosperous cities, attracting top international companies such
as Microsoft, Nokia, HP, IBM and Intel, as well as major banking,
insurance and security companies. Dalian is also a popular
tourist destination, with a mild climate and beautiful beaches –
the most visited in China. Described as ‘a city built in gardens’,
visitors can enjoy leisurely walks through the city parks, lawns
and civic squares, taking in an array of fountains and gardens.
Dalian is also home to three zoological parks, including
Shengya Ocean World.
Xinghai Square is East Asia’s largest square and is where
most of Dalian’s major annual events take place. The city
hosts a number of international festivals, including the
annual International Fashion Festival and China International
Beer Festival.
Dalian has very good public transport – the city’s distinctive
silver buses cover the entire area and are great for short
journeys. Taxis are also a relatively cheap alternative.
The Dalian Tram system, which is the second oldest in
China, is a reminder of the city’s Japanese heritage and
from 2014 a new Metro network will make travel even
faster and more convenient.
Dalian also has good connections with the rest of China.
The Harbin high-speed passenger railway opened in 2012,
and provides a gateway to North China. Dalian Airport has
frequent connections to Beijing (55 minutes) and Shanghai
(two hours), as well as international flights to Japan and Korea.

ENJOY
Whether you are looking for designer boutiques, international
brands, department stores or traditional Chinese products,
Dalian has something to suit everyone! With several large
shopping malls – including Walmart which is just across
the road from the university campus, you will find cinemas,
international and local branded clothing, restaurants,
a Starbucks and even an underground Tesco supermarket!
However you may prefer to shop in one of the many markets
which sell local produce.
You will be spoilt for choice for entertainment – from the
theatres of the Zhongshan District and cinemas showing
both Chinese-language films and international blockbusters,
to karaoke, live music venues, stylish bars and clubs,
and restaurants that cater for all tastes and budgets.
During summer, night markets provide cheap beer and
food in an informal outdoor setting. Don’t forget to try the
traditional buns, pancakes, dumplings or sample some of
Dalian’s famous seafood.
If you’re a fan of sport, go and see Dalian Shide – the most
successful football team in China, having won the Chinese
league eight times. And at weekends, get out of the city and
explore the Binhai Road – 22 miles of scenic coastline with
many beautiful beaches along the way.

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF... EIMEAR POWER, NORTHERN IRELANDSTUDYING INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MANAGEMENT
MORNING
I get up, take a shower and get my things
ready for the day. On my way to the campus,
I normally stop at the local bakery to pick up
some breakfast. I live really close, so getting
to my classes is really convenient and quick.
I am studying for a degree in International
Business Management and I’m really
enjoying it. The programme focuses not
only on a wide variety of business related
subjects, but also include topics to help us
to adapt to life in China.
These include spoken and written Chinese
and the ‘Profile of China’ course, which
explores the history and culture of the
country. Classes in DUFE are entirely
different to those back home. In the UK,
university classes can contain upwards
of 200 people and if you want to talk to
your lecturer, you make an appointment –
sometimes weeks in advance.
Here there are less than 30 people in a class
and we are encouraged to always talk to our
professors. This means there is little chance
of falling behind or being afraid to ask
questions if you’re not sure about anything.
At lunchtime I grab a bite to eat from one of
the restaurants close to the campus – there
are so many – offering food from all over the
world. I love Chinese food and really cheap
with huge portion sizes! After lunch I like
going for a stroll around the campus which is
really beautiful and green.

DAY IN THE LIFE
AFTERNOON
After classes finish, I normally head to the
gym. I try to go to exercise classes at least
three times a week. It’s not only a good
way to stay fit but it’s a good place to meet
new friends.
During the week I spend my time with
classmates on campus or studying at home.
It’s affordable to eat out in Dalian and
there are so many places to choose from.
We are spoilt for choice!
At the weekends I go out with friends to
one of the coffee shops, bars, clubs or
restaurants in the city. It’s a big city and
there’s a lot to see!
There are also many western style
restaurants and bars in Dalian. The city
is very popular with business people from
all over the world and so accommodates
for them. But I rarely feel the need for a
taste of home, I didn’t come to China for
more of the same, while I’m here I want
to experience as many new and different
things as possible.

PREPARING FOR YOUR FUTURE CAREER
Studying in China will help you develop a whole range of skills
and competencies that global employers look for. We offer
everything you need to meet their expectations, including
high-quality degrees, masterclasses and a range of extracurricular
activities to showcase your achievements.
LIVING IN CHINA IS NOT AS DIFFICULT OR AS SCARY AS YOU MIGHT THINK. YOU WILL DEVELOP A GREAT DEAL OF INDEPENDENCE AND STRONG PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS, ADAPTING TO NEW SURROUNDINGS AND A NEW CULTURE THAT ARE VERY DIFFERENT TO WHAT YOU ARE USED TO.
WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/INTOTVWWW.TWITTER.COM/INTO_CHINAWWW.FACEBOOK.COM/INTO.CHINAWWW.INTOHIGHER.COM/DUFE26
TOPSTUDY ABROAD CONSISTENTLY RANKS AS ONE OF THE TOP THINGS THAT EMPLOYERS LOOK FOR.
EXPANDING ECONOMY
China’s economy is growing rapidly – with new job and investment
opportunities being created every year and new international
companies setting up and investing here on a monthly basis. The
uplift in the number of organisations opening in China in recent
years means there are valuable employment opportunities for
you to explore after you graduate. The continued investment and
expansion will also provide plenty of scope for career development
and promotion in the future.
LANGUAGE SKILLS
Studying abroad means is the best way to pick up the language very
quickly. Within a couple of months you will have learnt the basics and
if you work hard, within a year you should be able to hold a decent
conversation in Mandarin –the mother tongue of one fifth of the
world’s population!
It is still rare to find non-Chinese people who can communicate well
and by developing your Chinese language skills you will be elevated
above other ‘wai guo ren’ (foreigners) conducting business in China.
BUSINESS SKILLS
The Chinese are well known for their tough negotiation skills
and agile business minds. If you become familiar with Chinese
business practice, you will acquire the acumen to conduct business
negotiations all over the world.
GUANXI (NETWORKING)
It is possible to find work in China from abroad, but job websites
are not the usual way that Chinese people look for work. If you are
considering working in China in the future, living in China will ensure
you will build strong ‘guanxi’.
While you are a student in China, you will have time to make many
friends and get to know your professors (a professor’s pay is
relatively modest, so many have consultancy projects or businesses
on the side). Building these friendships not only creates a personal
relationship, but also a potential business relationship. If a position
comes up that you may be right for, many Chinese people would
rather give the position to a friend of a friend, whom they trust,
rather than to advertise.
ACTIVITIES TO ENHANCE YOUR EMPLOYABILITY

MASTERCLASSES AN INSIGHT INTO THE WORLD OF WORK IN CHINA

HOW TO APPLY
APPLYING FOR YOUR CHINESE STUDENT VISA
INTO CHINA 31
MORNING
Every morning I check my class schedule and
the list of things I need to do for the day,
and leave my apartment at around 7.50am
to be on time for my 8am class. I can see my
faculty out of the window; it’s about a five-
minute walk away.
If I don’t have morning class, I go to the
DUFE stadium for a jog. In my opinion,
running 5km is the best way to start a new
day. Other days I like to go to the local gym
because it normally gets a lot busier in the
evenings.
I’ve just finished the first class related to my
major – International Business Management.
Now I have 20 minutes of free time before
the next class starts and so I visit the local
Holiland (the chain of bakery shops) to have
a latte and one or two fresh and tasty cakes.
It’s lunch time! There are so many good and
affordable restaurants around the campus,
it’s often hard to decide where to go!
I normally try to eat in a different place
every day.
AFTERNOON
I return to the faculty to attend my elective
courses. This semester I especially enjoy the
Chinese-language business course in which
we learn how to negotiate and conduct
business in Chinese. This is really helpful to
any student who wants to start their career
in China or run their own business.

If I have no more classes in the afternoon, I’ll
head over to the INTO China office to help
out as I’m a current student ambassador.
I usually spend a couple of hours there to
get things ready for the next social-cultural
activity organised by INTO.
I usually make my way home and prepare a
quick dinner, get changed and head off to
the basketball courts.
EVENING
I arrive at the basketball courts and start
looking for a game to join. I find the
locals are really friendly and always like
international students to participate. The
courts are where I can practice my Chinese
most and make new friends.
I get home and am completely exhausted. I
take a shower and look at my set homework:
assignments, presentations and case studies.
I work on the readings and assignments
I need to complete for my major and then
usually study Chinese for a few hours.
I prefer working in the evenings, so going to
bed at midnight is not unusual for me at all.
