remarkably. They have distinguished themselves
in competitions held both at a national level and by the Beijing Municipality. The
science team won the championship in the second and fourth “CCTV National
Student Robot Design Competition”. Sports teams have won many gold medals in
competitions at all levels.
Ⅱ. Courses for Exchange Students
We receive incoming students from the partner universities of USTB as exchange
students. Usually, the exchange period is one semester (at least) or one full academic
year (at most).
Normally, exchange students are allowed to choose all the courses offered in the
exchange period, on condition that the exchange students have sufficient knowledge
to meet the course requirments. In USTB, most courses are taught in Chinese, some in
English, and some in both Chinese and English.
