With around 2300 students visiting the Exhibition, many questions were asked about studies in China. 

During the exhibition, Mr Su Hongtao, Dean of the International Cooperation Department of the University of Geosciences (Wuhan), on behalf of the Chinese delegation gave to the present students a detailed introduction about the global situation and development of China’s higher education institutions, the Chinese delegation’s purpose at EBBS as well as the opportunities for Eastern countries’ students to study in China under the «One Belt, One Road » policy and finally a questions-answers session with the students’ parents.

Furthermore, the Chinese delegation also signed Memorandum of Understanding while discussing thoroughly about collaboration with 6 well-known Bulgarian Universities, among them the University of National and World Economy, the University of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy, the University of Mining and Geology, the University of Forestry, South-West University as well as the American University in Bulgaria.

We are expecting more Bulgarian students to come to study in China.
