Live, Intern and Study Abroad in Shanghai

Come and lose yourself in the excitement of China’s largest city, in terms of urban population, Shanghai which lies in the Yangtze River Delta on the eastern coast of China. Shanghai started off as a fishing and textile town, and over time became a major administrative, trading and shipping area. Its importance gained significant momentum during the nineteenth century, mainly due to its ideal geographical position and economic potential. Today, Shanghai is prosperous and modern; it has become China’s most important financial center. Shanghai is a popular internship destination in Asia and is a desirable Finance and IT internship program destination.

As a fast-moving, economically developing city, Shanghai has taken its place in Asia and the world’s ranking. Besides studying Mandarin Chinese, Shanghai is also an ideal place to take up an internship program in China. At Go Abroad China, we can arrange internships in different industries all located in the Shanghai metropolis.

Feedback on our Intensive Chinese Courses has been that many of our participants have spent several years studying Chinese with little progress, and they found it very difficult to learn without a real Chinese environment.
