I have chose this University because it is one of few in China that offers Tourism Management taught in English. I have previously finished a Bachelors degree in Chinese language and would like to combine these two and cater for Chinese tourists arriving in my home town Stavanger. In addition to that I chose this university because I have been to Hangzhou before, and heard from my friends there that this is a very good university with great learning material as well as great lectures with well educated professors. Seeing as this is one of few schools in China with this subject taught in English its also really a great chance for me to in the every day life practice my mandarin while i focus on my Masters.

I truly believe this university would suit me well.
