Three students from China won a chance-in-a-lifetime opportunity to study in Cambridge after getting the top scores in the BEC tests in China.
Chai Liang, 23 of Beijing, Duan Zhixiang, 22, of Xi’an and Xin Zhang of Harbin won a two week course at Embassy CES, Cambridge, in a competition organised by Cambridge ESOL and sponsored by the college and Cambridge University Press.
All three winning students said they were enjoying the opportunity to study in England and they had decided to take BEC because they felt it would help their careers.
Chai said taking BEC had already helped her find a good job with international accountants Price Waterhouse Cooper: “I don’t have an economics or finance background, but being able to speak English well has been very helpful as English is the language of international business."
