SALC student success at 鈥淐hinese Bridge鈥� competition
The 24th "Chinese Bridge" International University Student Chinese Competition took place in London on 5 June.
Sandy Chipolina, who is graduating from Chinese Studies and Spanish in 2025, finished runner up in the 5th Chinese Competition of Charitable Projects & Business Innovations for UK University Students.
In this year's competition, eight finalists took part in the Business Innovation category and ten students took part in the main Chinese Bridge competition. Sandy participated in both.
The Chinese Bridge competition is a very important occasion for our University鈥檚 Chinese learning community and we鈥檙e always proud to send excellent candidates to the competition. This year is no different. Sandy is a great example of what we represent as an Institute and what we look to promote across the University: cultural exchange and mutual understanding. So, we鈥檙e delighted for her success.
The "Chinese Bridge" International University Student Chinese Competition is an international competition organized by the Center for Language Exchange and Cooperation of the Ministry of Education of China aiming to strengthen academic and people-to-people exchanges between China and other countries through language and culture.
Sandy is from Gibraltar and has been studying Chinese for nearly four years. She studied in China for a year, living and communicating in a real language environment, which significantly improved her language skills.
Her research focuses on the impact of cultural activities on students' physical and mental health, which not only reflects her interest in education and culture but also reflects her desire to connect Chinese and other cultures, and benefit society.
