Student Experience

“I could focus on the fact that Xiamen University is a famous university in China, with a beautiful campus and long beaches nearby, but I am not going to. The pictures speak for themselves.

Instead I would like to say that this city has a relaxed atmosphere. We live a comfortable life here. Xiamen is a modern city with everything you need, too.”

Magnus Bain (baisizhe) from Norway

Master's student in Civil and Commercial Law

Student Experience

“First of all, I must mention my teachers, fellow students and excellent learning environment. Secondly, the scientific research of this university is really incomparable with lots of scientific research papers published every year in renowned international journals. Thirdly, all the people of the campus are friendly! They are willing to talk with you and help you. Fourthly, Xiamen is modern and is one of the cleanest cities in China.”

Mohammed Mahabubur Rahman from Bangladesh (centre)Master's student in Ecology
