Salary, Travel, and Health Insurance
Students in this internship program will receive a salary from the host organization in China. Though your salary amount varies from organization to organization, it should be sufficient enough to cover local meals, transportation, and other basic living expenses. Stanford will provide round trip airfare to/from the city in which students’ internships take place. Marta Espinoza can assist you in making your travel arrangements. All students will be required to provide their own health insurance for the duration of their stay.
Language Preparation
Language skill in Standard Chinese (Mandarin) is essential for Stanford students living in China. Our goal is to leave the program open to both students who do not yet speak Chinese and to those who do; hence the School of Engineering will provide a custom language course through the Stanford Language Center during spring quarter. The course must be taken for a minimum of three units of credit and will meet 3 to 4 hours per week. Students should register for CHINLANG 31E (Accelerated Beginning Mandarin for Engineering), with the option of letter grade or CR/NC. This course requirement will be waived for students who have already taken at least one quarter of Mandarin, or for students with equivalent experience.
Orientations and Visas
Pre-departure (at Stanford) and arrival(in China) orientations will be provided through the program. You are required to make sure to have a passport that is valid six months after date of departure from China. Documentation for applying for visas will be provided by the host companies. You will need to apply for visas with the proper invitation letters and visa papers; the fee is your responsibility.
As always, international students should consult the Bechtel International Center about their individual visa status; in some cases, travel to China will not be advised.
