As China's leading university in economics, finance and international business, the University of International Business and Economics is starting a new program to train students for international organizations.
"Starting from this semester, we will have a special program for cultivating future leaders in international organizations," Shi Jianjun, president of UIBE, told China Daily. "It will involve about 30 students, who are selected from the freshmen class. They will pursue continuous studying, undergraduate and graduate, over six years."
Shi said the move is part of UIBE's goal of having a more global image. "Internationalization is at the very core of the university," said Shi, a doctor of economics.
