It also recommends international students to apply part-time jobs in campus based on their situation, so as to attract more excellent self-supported student to come. In order to improve the knowledge of international students in maths, physics and chemistry which are studying their majors in Chinese, the university starts to organize the intensive course for self-supported language students before their majors, so as to increase the basic knowledge in maths, physics and chemistry combined with the previous language course. It also organizes the intensive specialized fundamental courses for the first-year undergraduates in the categories of sciences and engineering, economics and management, and arts. The university also provides financial support to arrange Chinese students to help the first and second year undergraduates in the form of “one Chinese student helps one international student which are in the same class”, which would help freshman to adapt to the new study and living environment.
