Exchange Students Testimonial
From Hailey Mills - BA (Hons) '16, BBA '19
“Going to Japan was the best decision! The cultural experience made the time so interesting and fun. I felt that it was better going as a student rather than a tourist because I was able to immerse myself and learn more about the Japanese culture, language and way of life. I also was able to make so many Japanese and international friends that I am still in contact with.”
From Thierno Bah B.Com.(Spécialisé) '18
Rennes Touch! “My name is Thierno and when I was a student, I went to Rennes in France as part of an exchange program. It was an incredible experience. I met amazing people and I am still in contact with most of them. I’ve learned a lot from Brittany, and they are best-known thanks to their famous “crêpes”. Going to Rennes was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I really encourage students to go to study abroad because this kind of experience can change a life.”

Overview of the partnership
Under the agreement signed in 2012 and the renewed agreement signed in 2016, each year up to 100 students will begin their first year of study at ZUFE. They will then enrol in the six weeks LU-ZUFE Dual Degrees Summer Bridging Program (Part 1) offered by Laurentian English Language Institute in Hangzhou. After they finish their second year of study in Hangzhou, they will enrol in the two weeks Summer Bridging Program (Part 2) in our Sudbury campus two weeks before the class start from September.
