During the reception the students has the opportunity to network with members of the business and education community.
They aimed to raise awareness of the availability and skills of Chinese-speaking students in Scotland and how they could help their businesses through short-term paid internships/part-time roles.
Tingting Zhang said: “It was a very good chance for us to expand the social network and expand channels to sell ourselves. The great lesson we have learnt is to have business cards ready. It wouldn't be wrong to be ready for opportunities anytime."
