I had no idea just how life-changing this experience would be when I filled out my application. On reflection, I am over-whelmed with memories, emotions and respect for this opportunity. Lisa Rolle (2018) |
For me the greatest taonga I bring back are the memories of my time with my colleagues as together we navigated our way around Beijing and learnt more about a different culture and language. Sonya van Schaijik (2017) |
University life will continue to be a place full of energy and opportunities, a place for scholars, young and old, to seek their dreams and fulfill their aspirations. It was heart-warming for me to see the torches of learning still shining bright in the China of today. Juliet Gao (2017) |
