The university accepts the results of IELTS or TOEFL. The minimum TOEFL score is 80. The IELTS score is not lower than 6.
In order to enroll at SDU for a master's program, you will have to confirm knowledge of the English language. You can do this by passing the exam — IELTS or TOEFL. The minimum IELTS score for admission is 6. TOEFL — 80 or higher.
The campus of SDU is located in Jinan. This is a fairly large city that opens up many opportunities for students: from cafes, restaurants and other entertainment to internships at large companies. But an urban campus can also be a disadvantage, because big city life distracts some students from their studies. The university has a functioning library. In addition to educational materials in various scientific areas, it contains a collection of classical and contemporary literature. Foreigners who come to SDU through exchange programs study and live with local students. Thus, the university promotes intercultural exchange and the establishment of interethnic relations.

There are many options to stay in the country after completing your studies at the university. One of them is to get an offer from an employer and apply for a work visa. Detailed information can be found on the embassy website. Graduates of SDU are in demand in the labor market, as the reputation of the educational institution among employers is quite high according to the results of the QS world ranking.
