November 8th to 12th, the “Behind the Masks: Discovering Sanxingdui and Jinsha” exhibition and an academic symposium was held at St Anne’s College

In August 2025, FLTRP (UK), in collaboration with Shanxi University, successfully concluded the “2025 Summer University Student Global Practice Program—Global Competence Enhancement Project in the UK”. Teachers and students from Shanxi University traveled across the sea to the United Kingdom for an immersive learning and cultural experience. Centered around topics such as global competence, intercultural communication, and artificial intelligence, they embarked on a wonderful journey that combined academic exploration with cultural engagement.

In the summer of 2025, the "2025 Summer Global Practice Group for College Students—Global Competence Enhancement in the UK Program", jointly organized by FLTRP (UK) and numerous universities across China, was successfully held. Outstanding students from all over the country crossed mountains and seas to write brilliant stories of international growth in the UK. They deeply immersed themselves in the academic atmosphere of British higher education institutions, experienced the profound academic heritage of renowned universities, explored the integration of industry and academia, unlocked the secrets of cross-cultural communication on the banks of the Thames, and shared China's narrative with a professional global perspective—this journey was not only an expansion of global horizons, but also a refinement of capabilities for versatile talent in the new era.

On June 15, 2025, students from BFSU ICC embarked on an immersive study tour to prestigious universities in the UK. This journey, which blended academic exploration, cultural enrichment, and urban experiences, not only allowed students to experience firsthand the academic allure of G5 universities such as Cambridge and Oxford, but also enabled them to engage in a cross-temporal dialogue of civilizations amid museums, historic architecture, and diverse cuisine.

In January 2025, FLTRP (UK), in collaboration with universities in Shaanxi, successfully held the "2025 Winter Vacation UK Study Tour for University Students: Global Internship Practice and International Communication Competence Enhancement Program in the UK". More than 20 students from institutions such as Northwestern Polytechnical University, Shaanxi University of Science and Technology, and Shaanxi Normal University traveled to the UK, where they deeply experienced the diversity of British culture, immersed themselves in the charm of world-renowned universities, broadened their international perspectives, gained a deeper understanding of contemporary China, and improved their comprehensive international communication abilities, laying a solid foundation for becoming interdisciplinary international talents with both professional expertise and foreign language proficiency.

Driven by the tide of globalization, cross-cultural communication and practical skills have become essential qualities for contemporary students. The School of Foreign Languages at Northwestern Polytechnical University, in collaboration with FLTRP (UK), has designed and launched a program to enhance students’ comprehensive abilities in overseas internship practice and international communication in the UK. The goal of this project is to promote a deeper understanding of contemporary China among university students, broaden their global perspective, and improve their all-round international communication skills through internships and exchanges abroad, ultimately helping them become well-rounded international professionals with both expertise and foreign language proficiency. During this challenging and rewarding journey, our students ventured abroad and immersed themselves in the academic institutions, enterprises, and cultural landmarks of the UK. Not only did they improve their professional skills, but they also broadened their horizons and gained personal growth and friendship through cross-cultural exchanges.
