He will go to Fo Guang Shan Taoist Temple in Frankfurt, Germany in January 2025 to start a one-month overseas internship. This is the first time that the Department of Communication of Fo Guang University has launched an overseas internship program. , the first international student to go to an overseas dojo for internship. Xu Huiyun applied for an overseas internship opportunity in the Department of Communication in October 2024, and successfully passed the selection to participate in the overseas internship. This overseas internship process is not only an important opportunity for students to realize their dreams of studying abroad, broaden their international horizons, and enhance their professional skills. It is also an important teaching achievement of Foguang University in helping international students learn and grow.
Xu Huiyun said that as an international student, she is looking forward to and excited about having this opportunity to intern overseas. In the past four years of her college career, she has also participated in a number of communication-related practical activities, in which she has used her organizational and communication skills. She said that this overseas internship opportunity is an affirmation of her hard work in the past four years of study, and she also hopes that she can use this opportunity to develop her strengths and enrich her learning experience.
Zhang Yulin, a teacher from the Department of Communication who is responsible for assisting Xu Huiyun in applying for overseas internship programs, also said that for many international students studying in Taiwan, if they can go to Europe or the Americas to study through the university's assistance, I believe it will be helpful for international students to cross-border studies. Mobile experience can bring richer growth and harvest. Taking into account the needs of international students for cross-border internships, Foguang University has established international bursaries to provide foreign students with support such as air ticket subsidies for overseas internships. These substantial supports are important assistance for Foguang University to assist international students and expand their international studies.
Xu Huiyun of the Department of Communication said that this opportunity to go to Frankfurt, Germany for an overseas internship is not only an opportunity for personal growth, but also a journey of cultural exchange and self-challenge.

In the end, for the success of this internship program, I am very grateful to the International Office, Department of Communication Studies and Foguang Shan Overseas Buddhist Temple of Foguang University for providing such an opportunity. I am also grateful to all the foreign teachers and teachers who assisted international students and came to Foguang University to study. International students have the opportunity to come to Foguang University and go on overseas internships through Foguang University's overseas resources, leaving the most memorable record in their study career.
