Experiential Learning Education Philosophy

Theories are important, skills and capabilities to implement them are more important. By adapting a teaching philosophy of experiential learning, we, at CIP, incorporate practical activities with a theoretical foundation to support and solidify your knowledge. We strive to ensure that you have the opportunities to become one of the most valuable players in the business world by teaching you skills and knowledge of an exceptional standard.

  • International Forum

One of the implementations is the monthly seminars named International Forum, where we invite speakers to share their experiences and knowledge about the business in contemporary global environment with you. It also provides students opportunities to interact with some of the successful and influential people in the business world.
Examples of past speakers include Vice Minister of Economic Affairs, Agriculture and Innovation of The Netherlands, French economist Michael Aglietta, managers from Top500 companies, such as General Motor, Fedex, Coca-Cola, and Schindler, and consul general of Shanghai from Canada, Spain, Brazil, and Israel.

  • Immersion Week

You also have the opportunities to put your theoretical foundations into practices, learn useful skills for the future career, and gain first-hand experience during the immersion week in the middle of every semester. Field trips to companies in different industries, workshops on different practical skills, research projects, competitions, culture visits, and other formats of activities aim to let you have opportunities to prepare yourself for the cruel business world in the future.  

Insights on China & Emergency Market

Many students come to China with a Chinese dream. The experiences of the graduates teach us that the keys to the success of Chinese dreams are to grasp basic Chinese language and understand Chinese culture, society and economy. In this case, we design the program to help you get insights into the Chinese market, increase your
Chinese market sensitivity, and grasp the opportunities in China by offering subjects, such as Chinese language, culture, philosophy, society, business codes, and business etiquette, all of which will be covered to your competitive advantages.

Global Learning Environment

We have students from around 140 countries with a good distribution in continents studying in the university, our dedicated faculty members are world citizens with a good mix of the eastern and western academics, who can bring you a wealth of knowledge and perspectives from different nations into the classroom, and we provide courses discussing different markets in addition to China.
What’s more, you are able to gain future international exposure with a semester studying in our partner universities in country such as USA, Spain, the Netherlands, Germany, or South Korea. Such a unique global learning environment will enhance your inter-culture skills, the skills demanded by every company today and help you build up a global network of friends.

Service Learning Nurturing Model

Service Learning is a new education model popular in western countries. It is a method of teaching that combines classroom instruction with meaningful community service. It emphasizes critical thinking and personal reflection while encouraging a heightened sense of community, civic engagement, and personal responsibility (Wikipedia). We adapted this latest education model for you to gain more insights of Chinese society as well as increase you sense of social responsibility as a future businessman/businesswoman.
We combined community service with business projects, offering events such as ”Marketing projects for Social Enterprise of Chi Heng Foundation”, aim to enhance students’ understanding of social responsibilities as well as business skills.

Innovation orientation

Innovation, defined by Wikipedia, “is the application of better solutions that meet new requirements, unarticulated needs, or existing market needs”. We believe that future businessmen/businesswomen should be innovative to be successful. With such belief, we design the program to teach you to be more creative from different aspects.
We cooperated with the Science of the Time (scienceofthetime.com), one of the first and most reputed trend research and innovation agencies in the world. We offer a course on innovation.  We encourage and guide students to be creative in running the student association. All in all is for the purpose to increase your competitive advantage when you step into the job market.
