Global Studies, 2021

Hi, My name is Chen.

I was born in Wuhan, the capital city of Hubei province in China. When I chose to study at Hubei University, I have heard that the International Relations and Affairs major has a 2+2 project which cooperates with the University of Canberra. I have always had a great interest in western cultures and hope to study abroad since I entered high school, so I chose this major and came to UC to keep doing the Global Study after I finish my first two years of study at Hubei University.

I am a big fan of films, and through the film, I have learned a lot of knowledge about the history, political differences, and also get in touch with western culture. The experience of studying at UC has not only improved my cross-cultural communication ability but also gave me an insight into the diverse values, political thinking, and cultural climate of different groups. Through constant communication, acceptance, and understanding of different perspectives, I have gradually become a more tolerant, rational, and better person.
