European universities growing in popularity among students

While universities in the United States remain the biggest targets for Chinese students who want to pursue study overseas, universities in European countries that teach in a foreign language other than English are becoming increasingly popular.

The 19th China International Education Exhibition Tour opened its first stop over the weekend in Beijing, with more than 400 universities from 20 countries and regions taking part. About 100 were from non-English-speaking countries.

Some colleges and universities from France have arranged face-to-face interviews with Chinese applicants. Students can bring their language scores and materials proving their school performance to the interviewers and meet the admission staff.
