Huawei’s ‘Seeds for the Future’ Programme is a fantastic opportunity for UK undergraduate STEM students to explore China on a four-week work experience programme in August 2019.
Students will firstly spend two weeks in Beijing experiencing Chinese culture and receiving Mandarin language training from one of Beijing’s best universities. There will be group tours to The Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, The Great Wall of China and 2008 Olympic Park.
At Huawei’s HQ, Shenzhen, students will then spend the remaining two weeks receiving technical training from some of the finest professionals in the industry, and will visit Huawei’s F1 Exhibition Centre; Enterprise Exhibition Hall; Logistics Centre; R&D labs and one of Huawei’s state-of-the-art factory facilities.
Huawei will cover all visa, accommodation and travel costs for successful applicants, and an allowance for sundry living expenses will also be provided.
Applications close on Sunday 3 February 2019.
Last summer, four of our students took part in the programme. Matthew Price, a third-year Electrical Engineering student shared his experience:
“I’ve had a few friends who have talked to me about it and I’ve said you have to do it, you get over to China for four weeks and see what they’re doing there in terms of business which is something you never really get as an undergraduate. It just opens your options up and really gives you an idea of what is out there.”
