SUZHOU, China, April 14, 2014 (ANTARA/PRNewswire) -- Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU) recently launched a range language and business Summer School courses jointly hosted by the University's Language Centre and International Business School Suzhou (IBSS).

The new programs focus on Mandarin Chinese and Chinese and Business and are open to anyone interested in getting to grips with Chinese language or wanting to learn about the business environment in the world's most dynamic economy while also picking up the language as you study.

With a choice of either a two week intensive course, or a month long option from 7th July to 15th August, participants will get the chance to learn and practice their language skills in a dedicated, professional environment, supported by experienced and fully certified teaching staff.

Those who complement their language studies with an introduction to Chinese Business will benefit from specialized training from IBSS professors who can guide students through four main areas of interest: The Chinese Economy, Understanding the Chinese Consumer, The Internet Boom – China Style and Entrepreneurial Opportunities in China.

While the summer schools can cater for intermediate or experienced Mandarin speakers, no prior knowledge of Chinese or business is required to join the programs and anyone over 16 years old is welcome to come to XJTLU's Suzhou campus to participate.

"The Language Centre is looking forward to welcoming Students to our campus over the summer" explained Dr. Stuart Perrin, Dean of Learning and Teaching at XJTLU. He highlighted that "with our award winning staff and cooperation with XJTLU's Business School, our summer school students can look forward to gaining a rare insight into the language and business culture of the world's fastest growing economy", adding that "this experience will not only be enjoyable but will prove beneficial for your studies and career prospects in the future."
