“When I joined Tsinghua, I couldn't hide my excitement about the huge campus that we are going to be part with. Moreover, such size will result in to meeting so many outstanding students in all over mainland china.”
“I really enjoy what this degree is giving me, the courses we are studying allows us to build solid foundations to the construction industry in China and internationally.”
“Coming to China I could have never guessed that I would be working with (and learning from) people from the nations of Iraq, India, Greece, Indonesia, Russia and Australia. While I expected my studies to be focused on international construction and project management, I have also been privileged to learn firsthand what it means to be international. This is something that is difficult to learn only from class and really requires the unconventional setting provided in this program. ”
