Shanghai is the most modern and one of the most traditional of Chinese cities. Every imaginable Chinese food and medicine is available in its busy markets. No foreign product, from CD's to a pizza, is too obscure, at a price, for Shanghai traders to try to sell you. Indeed, you can get all the Western goods you need in the very busiest Chinese marketplace. If the city gets on top of you, you can escape in an hour or so to peaceful countryside in the wide Yangtze valley.
Shanghai is the obvious place for a professional and business programme .
You can gain experience of the way business works in China in advertising or in the construction business. You can also work in a firm of architects. You can be part of an economy growing at great speed. Our journalism, radio and TV programme is based at the Shanghai Star English-language newspaper. Our medical programme in Shanghai s hospitals gives you a chance to see some thousand year-old Chinese practices alongside all the techniques we re used to seeing in the 21st Century in the West.
