Beyond academics and practice, students embrace sports and arts—from university sports teams to traditional cultural performances like Sichuan Opera face-changing—fostering teamwork and cross-cultural communication skills.
From global competitions to international volunteer services and top-tier media internships, the class's journey exemplifies how the university's internationalized teaching practice system nurtures talents who are not only academically competent but also ready to engage and contribute on the global stage.
