Established in 2022, the Global Perspectives program offers a series of impactful online, non-degree courses that cater to various academic interests and career aspirations by providing students with cutting-edge knowledge and in-demand practical skills, and fostering international insights in Chinese university undergraduates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Through this initiative, we are fostering global knowledge exchange and empowering students to make a positive impact on the world. The programs are also designed to drive positive change by aligning closely with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to address critical global challenges and promote sustainable development,\u201d says Hugo Chen<\/strong>, director of international collaborations and partnerships at the Faculty of Science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Global Perspectives programs \u2013 which cover areas like data visualization, water and wastewater treatment, scientific literacy and more \u2013 are an adjunct to Chinese students' core academic curriculum, delivering an immersive experience led by experienced university instructors and industry practitioners. They provide both a theoretical understanding and industry-ready practical skills, preparing students to tackle real-world challenges. English-language tutoring is integrated into the program, ensuring that students also develop the essential technical language and communication skills necessary for thriving in a global academic and professional environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Looking to the future, ABMP Program Director Elena Caprioni<\/strong> aims to provide an even greater number of Chinese undergraduates with enriching experiences and invaluable international exposure through these transformative opportunities, helping students gain unique insights and capabilities that enable them to thrive in a globalized world. \u201cWhile the focus remains on empowering students for a globalized world, the collaboration between York and Chinese universities seeks to create a powerful impact that transcends borders and helps build a more interconnected, sustainable and prosperous world for all,\u201d says Caprioni.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" More than 300 students from universities in China have benefited from the program since it was established in 2022 at York.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":329055,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[11,13],"tags":[32,42,61,9,12,14,4],"yfileauthor":[],"qualifier":[],"yfile-author":[],"tags-to-show":[149,212,168,175,146,169],"workflow":[],"class_list":["post-339986","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest-news","category-teaching-learning","tag-bipoc","tag-elearning","tag-science","tag-international","tag-students","tag-teaching-and-learning","tag-yfile","tags-to-show-bipoc","tags-to-show-elearning","tags-to-show-faculty-of-science","tags-to-show-international","tags-to-show-students","tags-to-show-teaching-and-learning"],"acf":{"internal_publish_date":null,"original_image":null},"yoast_head":"\n
