Antai College of Economics and Management is committed to promoting international exchanges and student mobility. Each year, we select outstanding undergraduate and master's students to participate in semester-long exchange programs at partner universities outside mainland China. Currently, we have established partnerships with over 100 universities worldwide, covering more than 60 countries and regions in North America, South America, Europe, Oceania, Asia, and Africa. According to the exchange agreements between ACEM and partner institutions, tuition fees for exchange students at host universities are waived. However, students are responsible for their own accommodation, health insurance, living expenses, and travel costs.
