Education professionals are looking at developing summer school courses to boost internationalisation in higher education. The University of International Business and Economics launched a four-week international summer school programme in July, which attracted more than 2,000 students, including those from overseas universities. Under the programme, the university invited 92 scholars and professors from different countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia and Germany, to give lessons on economics, management, literature, jurisprudence, linguistics and physical education. "This is to build an international atmosphere on campus. Through the program, we hope students can improve their individual development and international competitiveness," said Zhao Zhongxiu, the university's vice-president. Reports China Daily.
