Despite the influence of COVID-19, Nordic Centre didn’t cancel the summer course but instead moved it online for the first time. 12 students from 7 different Nordic universities participated in this course via Zoom and completed all the assignments with excellent performance.

This online course maintains the same high academic quality since Nordic Centre invites 10 guest speakers across various fields and industries to give the students a wide picture of China, different from what they perceived solely from the Western media.

Although the students could not physically come to Shanghai and experience the city, our Programme Officers managed to show them around by live streaming from different locations in the city such as the famous Bund, Peal Tower, skyscrapers in Lujiazui, Xin Tian Di and Yu Garden. The students really enjoyed the digital tour and gave positive feedback.

In the evaluation survey conducted after the course, all the students rated the course as “very good“ and will 100% recommend it to other Nordic students in the future.
