Student testimonial
Ayami, International trade business, Exchange student from Waseda University
“I choose UNNC because it offers me what I hardly got in my own university. China has such a big market and remains a very important partner to Japan's economic development. In fact, many Japanese corporations go into China and do business. I thought if I go and study in China, it will help my study. NUBS China especially offers many classes focusing on Chinese business and Chinese culture that affects the business."
