Get ready for the ultimate cultural deep-dive! Over 200 British university students will embark on study tours across the Chinese mainland this May and June through the new China-UK Study Tour Pioneering Scheme. Think K-pop level excitement, but for education – complete with credit-earning courses and temple visits 🏯📚.
Classroom Meets Culture
Students from Exeter and five other UK schools will join 13 custom-designed routes hosted by top Chinese universities like Fudan University. Programs blend AI workshops with noodle-making classes – because why choose between tech and tradition?
Beyond One-Way Learning
Launched on January 14 at a Beijing university event, this program flips the script on old-school exchanges. No more quick tourist stops – these month-long tours aim to build two-way understanding through:
🏛️ Academic collaborations
🎭 Cultural immersion activities
🤝 Youth networking events
With China's education ministry backing the initiative, 2026 could become the year Gen Z redraws the map of global learning 🌍✨.
