I have always been interested in studying at Shanghai International Studies University since the year 2012 after my Undergraduate at the University of Nairobi. In terms of the various academic programmes the University offers, I could rate it as the number one University in China. I have read stories of alumnis from this university who have come out as all rounded graduates who can cope up in all the spheres of life. I want to study International Relations and from this University, am confident to say that I will get the necessary skills, knowledge and values that will help me understand the various dynamics in the international arena. In the recent past, I have taken keen interest in the Chinese culture and the Chinese civilization. Being the best institution of higher learning that I know in China, it is evident that the University will help me get conversant with aspects of Chinese culture such as education.
