UIC is located just outside Zhuhai in China, it is a short distance from Macau and students are able to access Hong Kong via Ferry. Zhuhai experiences long hot and humid summers with frequent thunderstorms and short mild and dry winters. Accommodation on campus is available for students and your room mate will meet you on your arrival in China.
It will not be possible to complete a year abroad at this University if you have any assessments, such as supplementary or deferred exams, during the August assessment period at Swansea University.
Who can study here?
Swansea has a ‘university-wide’ partnership with this university which means that it is open to all subject areas except for English Language, Media, Politics and International Relations.
Spaces are not guaranteed, can be limited and all students on a semester/year abroad programme are subject to a university-wide, competitive selection process.
