On the afternoon of November 20th, over 100 senior high school students from Shenzhen Experimental School High School Park visited the Business School of Shenzhen Technology University (SZTU), participating in a rich and insightful exchange activity. Guest Professor Nick Webber, Associate Professor Lutz Philip Hecker, Teacher Li Xueqi, and student representatives of the Business School warmly received the visiting teachers and students. Through professional introductions, laboratory tours, and interactive Q&A sessions, the school's strong strength in "internationalized education" was fully demonstrated.

At the start of the activity, the carefully arranged corridor Q&A session quickly ignited the atmosphere. A professional consultation team composed of faculty and student representatives engaged in face-to-face, zero-distance communication with the high school students, introducing the school's educational philosophy and program offerings. During the exchange, Teacher Li Xueqi interpreted the school's "internationalized education" features, including full-English professional teaching, a world-class faculty team, and abundant overseas exchange programs. She also highlighted the school's highly competitive undergraduate dual-degree programs and integrated bachelor's-master's programs.

The on-site interaction was enthusiastic, with students showing particular interest in Professor Nick Webber, a "top scholar" graduated from Imperial College London. "Professor, how do you integrate your research direction with undergraduate teaching?" "What preparations are needed for applying for joint training programs?" Faced with a flurry of questions, Professor Nick shared in a relaxed and humorous manner: "My research focuses on financial models, and in class, I guide students to simulate market strategies using real data." He also encouraged students to maintain academic passion: "When I was pursuing my PhD at Imperial College, I often participated in cross-border research projects with my supervisor." The friendly exchange left students exclaiming that "the content was highly valuable and practical."

To provide an immersive experience for the visiting students, the school opened three "high-performance" practical training platforms located in the core teaching area: the New Media Recording Studio, Intelligent Accounting Laboratory, and Digital Economy Laboratory. In the Intelligent Accounting Laboratory, simulated financial systems and intelligent tools replicated real-world accounting work scenarios. The Digital Economy Laboratory showcased cutting-edge business teaching in the digital era through multiple big data analysis platforms and visual interactive devices. The New Media Recording Studio, equipped with professional shooting and editing equipment, demonstrated the school's pioneering exploration in teaching content and formats. With in-depth yet accessible explanations from teachers and volunteers, the students not only intuitively experienced advanced teaching facilities but also gained a concrete and profound understanding of the school's educational feature of "academia for application."

This campus visit offered high school students a precious opportunity to closely perceive the academic atmosphere and campus culture of a university, built a communication bridge between higher education institutions and high schools, and effectively inspired students' enthusiasm for exploring business majors and reflections on their future career planning.
