We are a society that was originally founded to enable international relationships between Clinical Sciences students from the University of Leicester and Chongqing Medical University (CQMU) in conjunction with the Joint Educational Programme. We now invite any CQMU or UoL students to join, meet new people and learn about each other’s cultures!
We also have channels dedicated to specific topics such as football, films, marvel, baking and books etc that allow you to easily interact with other members that share a common interest!
