Study Abroad & Intern inShanghai

CHINA

Make Shanghai Your Classroom

Study abroad and intern in this fast-paced global megacity. Shanghai offers something for everyone: go up high over the clouds at the Shanghai Tower (the world’s second tallest building), savor the flavors found in street food throughout the city, dance with the locals in People’s Square, and much more!

The CAPA Shanghai Center is hosted at East China Normal University (ECNU), a world-renowned research university known for its beautiful campus gardens.
Shanghai’s catapult into economic success has drawn a lot of attention from other countries, and now it is known as a global megacity. This means that there are a plethora of influences from all over the world that impact local business and tourism. While studying abroad in Shanghai, I saw and met people from all over the world such as Africa, India, the UK, Latin America, and Australia, to name a few.
