70.8% graduate students
10.6% others
3.8% OPT (Optional Practical Training)

Popular courses include:

Shenyang is the capital city of Liaoning province, and the biggest city in Northeast China. It is a sub-provincial city with a population of 7.2 million within its administrative area of 12,924 km². Shenyang is the economical, cultural, communication, trade, auto engineering and commercial hub of the Northeastern region of China; it is also a major industrial and cultural city with historical importance. Shenyang is located at the center of the Northeast Asian economic ring and Bohai economic ring, so it has important strategic status. Shenyang will host the football (soccer) games of the 2009 Beijing Olympics.

Northeast China is the home of a number of prestigious higher education institutions, such as Northeast University, Liaoning University, Shenyang University, Liaoning Technical University, Shenyang University of Technology, Shenyang Agricultural University, China Medical University, Shenyang Pharmaceutical University and Liaoning Normal University.

There is a Consulate General of the United States of America in Shenyang.

Shipping Information for Exhibitors


OCS will be working with IIE again in 2009 as an official shipper of exhibitor materials.
Participating institutions shipping with OCS will not need to make any international shipments. Instead, all boxes can be forwarded to our OCS trade fair hub in Boston.

From here, OCS will take care of the rest, including address labeling and export documentation. OCS will pay all duties and taxes on your behalf overseas. You will have no customs clearance worries

OCS performs all of these services seamlessly and automatically for all exhibitors shipping with OCS.

We will store all exhibitors’ materials in our overseas stations and deliver them on instruction from IIE, direct to the fair venue.

Complete shipping instructions will be emailed to all registered participants.
You can always contact OCS at fairs@shipOCS.com or by calling toll-free in the U.S. 1-877-2222-OCS.

Note: for participants NOT using OCS.

If you decide to use another carrier to ship directly overseas, your ship-to address will be the hotel room that you would stay in each destination country. Please make arrangements with your hotel directly.

Please do NOT ship any materials to the offices of IIE or the fair organizers.

If you do not use OCS, it will be the responsibility of your carrier to deliver your materials “door-to-door” overseas to your hotel room. Please make sure your carrier is able to clear customs in the countries you ship to, and make sure they can take care of duty and taxes for you. Please do NOT ship your materials as “cargo” or “door-to-airport”, because these services generally do NOT include customs clearance. Neither OCS nor IIE will be able to assist if your packages are delayed in customs or undeliverable due to improper labeling.
