What students say about FAA?
“Studying at the FAA is my unforgettable time. Classes give us updated knowledge, opportunities to enhance soft skills with presentations, discussion and practices. The annual internship at enterprises and audit firms give us chance to practice our knowledge and skills. Moreover, students are encouraged to develop personal interest or take part in extracurricular activities in clubs, youth union or student union. These activities help us discover ourselves, master knowledge and skills as well as understand each other.”
