Beijing foreign students graduate on time ( 2003-07-03 09:30) (Xinhua)
Forty-five foreign students studying at Beijing Language and Culture
University graduated on schedule Wednesday.
The students come from more than 20 countries and regions, including Britain,
Portugal and Canada.
Because of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) epidemic in April and
May, the university had set up two schedules for the foreign students' thesis
defense.
By June 23, 41 foreign students had defended their theses. The other 78 are
scheduled to do so on Aug. 15.
To ensure that the students graduated on time, the university professors
provided thesis guidance via the telephone, the Internet and fax.
