“As international students, we are like bridges connecting two countries. China has many opportunities, and we should seize them. The teachers at the university are very kind, and our class monitor often helps me, making me feel that this place is my home.”
Basic Student Information
Country of Citizenship
Uzbekistan
background
Graduate of a technical program in Uzbekistan; before coming to China, he spoke only Russian and his native language.
core demands
Enter a Chinese university to study Computer Science at the undergraduate level and complete a cross-disciplinary transition from engineering technology to information technology.
Core pain points
1. Large disciplinary gap: Moving from engineering technology to computer science involved clear differences in academic foundations and required him to take many new courses, creating a high disciplinary barrier.
2. Weak language foundation: When he first arrived in China, he knew only Russian and his native language. He had no foundation in Chinese and knew nothing about computer science terminology.
3. Difficulty adapting academically: In a fully Chinese-taught environment, completing assignments independently and keeping up with the teaching pace posed major challenges.
4. Limited information channels: He had insufficient awareness of the range of Chinese universities and programs available to him.
Customized solutions
Solution
1. Cross-disciplinary pathway planning: Through a one-on-one assessment of the student’s previous academic background and transition goals, we precisely matched him with universities offering undergraduate computer science programs and specialized “Chinese for Science and Technology” courses. We ultimately selected a university in Xi’an to ensure that the cross-disciplinary student had a transitional bridge.
2. Dual-track language and academic preparation: We helped connect him with preparatory and bridging resources for major-related courses, ensuring that bridge courses such as “Chinese for Science and Technology” laid a foundation for his major courses.
3. Academic integration support: After enrollment, we continued to monitor his academic adaptation and helped him build mutual-support relationships with Chinese classmates, ensuring peer support for assignment reminders, exam review, and other academic tasks.
4. Life and cultural adaptation guidance: We provided full-scenario life guidance to help him quickly adapt to Chinese campus life, from mobile payments and social apps to cafeteria dining and urban transportation, making life abroad feel familiar.
Implementation effect
1. Successful admission and enrollment: Through the Belt and Road program for the five Central Asian countries, he successfully entered the bachelor’s program in Computer Science at a well-known university in Xi’an.
2. Language breakthrough: From knowing only Russian and his native language, he became able to participate confidently in major-related discussions in Chinese. He also taught himself English and French, becoming a multilingual talent.
3. Promising career prospects: His computer science major is closely connected to a rapidly developing industry. After graduation, he will be qualified for technical positions in multiple fields, with the added advantages of language skills and cross-cultural communication.
