The academic collaboration and students exchange will certainly promote the friendship between other excellent universities all over the world and us, and benefit students in their academic excellence as well as global vision.
Exchange agreements allow international students to take courses at SJTU for a or year while paying tuition at their home institution, with the potential to transfer course credit back to their home institutions. Each year, SJTU welcomes more than 1000 exchange students from around the world. Our formal exchange agreements allow students to take undergraduate or graduate coursework at SJTU, which often can be transferred back to their degree at their home institution.
