Introduction

Mini-MBA Oversea Program
International perspectives and effective communication are paramount in contemporary society. Mastering international interactive communication hinges on a thorough understanding of global economic, political, and cultural landscapes. The Mini-MBA program, embodying the mantra "learn by practice with a global perspective," endeavors to nurture future leaders and innovators by exposing them to the latest industry trends and facilitating exchanges with seasoned professionals from diverse backgrounds.
For secondary school students contemplating an overseas education and eager to delve into various industries and cultures, immersive real-life experiences are indispensable. These experiences allow students to grasp the workings of societies abroad, gain insights into pioneering industries, and appreciate diverse cultural differences.
Our students will embark on journeys to the United Kingdom, the United States, European Union member states, and Singapore. They will engage in dialogues with prestigious universities, multinational corporations, international governmental and financial institutions, arts organizations, and sports giants across Britain, the United States, Europe, and Singapore. Through these interactions, students will gain profound insights into British classical traditions, American innovation, the cultural diversity of four European nations, and Singapore's sustainable green economy as a "garden city." Ultimately, these experiences will foster a global mindset and provide students with their first comprehensive and enriching pre-study abroad adventure.

Testimonials
As this was my first time visiting the UK, I explored many places I had never been to before, gaining a deeper understanding of British culture. We also visited many prestigious universities such as Oxford, Cambridge, UCL, and LSE, which allowed me to understand the facilities of each university and further solidified my future direction. Additionally, we visited the British Museum, street graffiti art, and the Natural History Museum, where I learned a lot of fascinating new knowledge. Overall, this trip taught me a great deal and enhanced my abilities in teamwork, individual research, and problem-solving.
— Gao UK
In New York, we visited the economic and financial center of the global village, broadening our horizons, which is commendable and gratifying. We also visited the Hershey Chocolate Factory and the United Nations Headquarters. Conducting field investigations in different environments with different companions enabled us to achieve the same goal - refinement and growth.
— Zhang US
Through this program, I gained a comprehensive understanding and firsthand experience of the customs and cultures of different European countries. The overall pace of life in Europe is quite slow and comfortable. I particularly enjoyed the city of Amsterdam, where, besides delving into its rich cultural connotation, I also got to feel the freedom and happiness of the city. At the chocolate factory in Belgium, we got to make chocolate ourselves and learn about the process from cocoa beans to the finished product. During our visit to the EU, we experienced a day in the life of an EU parliamentarian. In Switzerland, our team collaborated on street interviews, where the locals were very friendly. We even met a local girl who gave us commemorative bracelets; they were adorable. Overall, I feel like I gained invaluable experiences.
— Li EU
I've come to understand the significant differences between Chinese and American cultures. As young people in this new era, we should cultivate our ability to engage in cross-cultural communication. What left me the deepest impression was when we visited Yale University under the guidance of our senior classmates, where we learned about the differences in educational ideas between China and abroad. Our driver was also very friendly, sharing with us a lot of American cultural history and life experiences! Moving forward, I need to be braver in expressing my thoughts.
— Yao US
I enjoyed all the interesting activities, especially visiting various museums. Some artifacts in the British Museum and the Natural History Museum deeply impressed me. The interviews at universities also gave me valuable experiences, helping me better determine my future academic direction and learn about the cultural history of universities. I'm interested in art and soccer, so I'm glad to learn about street art in the UK and Manchester clubs. Overall, in two weeks, I enriched my life experiences, broadened my horizons, and gained insights into various aspects of the UK.
— Qian UK
This experience was truly amazing! My strengths lie in effective communication and coming up with innovative ideas during discussions; however, my weakness is often focusing too much on my ideas. But within the team, I learned to listen to others' thoughts and make balanced judgments. In Switzerland, our teamwork during street interviews taught us the importance of collaboration. My favorite visits were to the Mercedes-Benz Museum and the Champagne Estate, where under the guidance of our teachers, we understood how to navigate interpersonal relationships in the cultural environment of Europe. From initially feeling lost and even a bit fearful to eventually enjoying, and immersing ourselves, I fell in love with this program and all the teachers who led us.
— Wu EU
Experiencing a tour of European countries is a rare opportunity in life. The seamless entry into another country without border checks or passport inspections made me deeply feel the integration of Europe. My favorite part was the experience at Mountain Stoos, riding the cable car up the mountain, and overlooking the natural scenery from above. The scenery at the mountaintop with misty clouds and emerald lakes allowed me to appreciate the natural beauty of Europe. This journey not only broadened my horizons but also improved my spoken English expression and teamwork skills. As an interviewer and financial manager, I completed group tasks with a sense of accomplishment.
— Wei EU
I was most impressed by the Natural History Museum, where I saw many fossil specimens and animals that I had never seen before, as well as learning about the creation of geological hazards. At the same time, I found the university visit and the farm experience very good. The university visit motivated me to study well and let me better understand the application process of the world's most famous universities and the university environment, while the farm experience was very interesting because I had never been to such a place
— Liu UK
Since I was young, I've always enjoyed watching airplanes take off and land, but there weren't many opportunities for that in Beijing. Being able to visit the observation deck at Manchester Airport and lying on the grass to watch planes come and go were a precious memory for me. Visiting the fashion factory helped me understand how the British combined the most primitive sewing machines with the most advanced AI technology. I also discovered that the UK art field is at the fashion forefront. I feel very fortunate to participate in the Mini MBA, which has allowed me to learn all these things.
— Hou UK
As an international metropolis that has been thriving since the first Industrial Revolution, the cultural connotation of the UK is profound. This journey enabled me to understand various industries in the UK. During the full-day group research segment, I initially lacked the courage to interview strangers due to my lack of confidence in my spoken English. However, with encouragement from my teammates, I successfully interviewed at least three people. This experience brought about significant changes and profound benefits for me. I truly felt the power of teamwork and became more confident. This program allowed me to make friends from all over the country, providing a great opportunity to expand my social circle.
— Yuan UK
Every moment is inspiring! Visits to the United Nations Headquarters, Wall Street, and the Freedom Trail left a lasting impression on me. I had never before had the opportunity to stand inside the United Nations General Assembly Hall to experience the solemn, serious, and national atmosphere, which is not something one encounters in everyday life. During group activity days, experiencing the American way of life and survival, as well as conducting street interviews and research, enhanced my research skills.
— Shen US
The most impressive thing is that several students from different regions, who don't know each other and are not even in the same group, got together and became good friends because of common hobby - football! As well as we also went to the car museum, saw different time period of the British car, understand from the past to the modern car culture, explored the mystery of the machinery, in front of the 007 film and television car we took a lot of pictures.

Q&A
并不是参加这个项目就能够加分,所有同学都必须得完成阿思丹报告,最终能否加分是由ASDAN英国总部根据同学的表现和报告来决定。阿思丹的学术团队全部接受过ASDAN AoPE Level-3专业培训,能够全程对学生进行有针对性的辅导,通过帮助学生提高自身的学习、团队合作、调研、演讲、问题解决等软实力,提高同学通过ASDAN评审的概率。但是,能否通过最终取决于同学自己的勤奋程度与综合素质。UCAS网站中有ASDAN AoPE的相关说明。https://www.ucas.com/ucas/undergraduate/getting-started/entry-requirements/tariff/tariff-tables/1216
AoPE Level-3的审核结果只有两种,通过(PASS)和不通过(FAIL),凡通过者,获得UCAS 8学分,凡不通过者,没有学分。不存在只加分6分,或者4分等可能性。此结果评定方式由UCAS授权,ASDAN组织进行。
UCAS 之所以授权 ASDAN 进行课外活动认证,就是为了提供一种不同于课内学术成绩的综合素质评价标准。阿思丹项目并不是一个智力测试或者知识量的考试,而是一种综合素质能力的训练和引导。并不是课内成绩优秀或者高年级同学就一定可以通过考核。只有在项目过程中积极参与,勤奋认真,表现出较高的综合素质,证明自己通过努力可以不断提高、不断进步的同学才有可能获得加分。2012年中国大陆地区参加ASDAN项目的近500位同学绝大多数都是低年级学生甚至新生,其中65%同学通过了ASDAN的考核获得了AoPE Level-3证书。
