Since leaving University I have begun a career in Advertising and want to further progress my professional and personal development by gaining international experience and learning another language. I have spent the last two years teaching myself Mandarin but want to progress in a more immersive setting. SISU is highly ranked online and has been highly recommended by friends and family as an excellent University, especially for international students wanting to study Mandarin, like myself. I have already applied for the Semester programme starting at the end of February at SISU but would like to start as soon as possible, so am applying for this 4-week Winter Programme in January too.
