In order to enrich students' extra-curriculum life, the university has invited experts from home and abroad to give lectures to introduce students to foreign customs and cultures, and campus culture of local universities. By bringing in high-level experts and scholars for academic exchange and conferences, we can help students to get in-depth knowledge of an advanced field in a short period of time. It not only helps students to improve rapidly in the field they are interested in, but also enables them to realize localize abroad study and develop their international perspectives. (See Table 4 for some of the international lectures held in the past five years)
