Sometimes we simply need a year off (or even just a semester)... A gap between high school and college or university, or break halfway through an intensive degree or course, or if you’ve reached a crossroad in your life and don’t know which path to follow.

Taking a gap year in China can be the perfect solution! You can join students from across the globe in an unrivaled Gap Year Study Abroad Program and discover the world, grow in confidence and independence, learn Chinese, and add something to your portfolio of life that will stand you in good stead in the future.

Few other countries can offer the diversity and experience you’ll get living, studying, working or traveling in China. China has many faces; it’s a myriad of culturally rich and diverse cities. As you move around you’ll experience modern China around one corner and ancient China around another. China has the world’s largest and fastest growing economy. It’s a culturally rich country that is continually adapting to stay abreast of world changes.
