Irish student is loving learning Mandarin, Economics and much more
Matthew Kelly says: "I had always been interested in Asia from a young age in terms of culture/film/ TV etc. I suppose I always knew studying Mandarin would give me more opportunities in terms of work and study. And so it proved to be."
Matthew Kelly is on the verge of completing a two-year Masters programme at Peking University's Yenching Academy and looks back on his time there as enormously fulfilling and exciting, as well as challenging.
His major is Economics and Management, and he has just undergone his thesis defence (or viva) where he specialised in Sino-Irish economic relations. Passing that, with much relief, he is now due to graduate next month.
