With cutting-edge knowledge.
During my time studying accounting at Northeast Normal University from 2021 to 2025, I truly appreciated the comprehensive curriculum that balanced theory with practical application. The faculty was incredibly supportive and knowledgeable, always willing to offer guidance and support. The opportunities for hands-on experience through internships and projects were invaluable. However, I feel there could be more emphasis on emerging technologies in accounting, such as data analytics and blockchain. This would better prepare students for the rapidly evolving industry. Overall, my study experience was highly positive, providing a strong foundation for my future career in accounting.
Business field
I like all courses related to finance and financial management, I like doing companies' financial analysis and identifying the good companies to invest in. Besides that, I learned about marketing and practiced this field a little bit by working in eCommerce.overall I think that I learned a lot of things but I still need to practice, so an opportunity to attend an internship will be of great help for me.
