Personal comments:
At Fudan University the language of instruction was English, so there wasn't any problem with that. However, with my Chinese it was hard to pass all the administrative stuff (police...). In China nearly anybody can speak English or another "not Asian language".

In class we spoke english, we just had 3 hours each week learning Chinese. A great way to learn chinese, but if you should understand chinese- you should dedicate a whole year to just study chinese.

Personal comments:
I am a Chinese student studying in The Netherlands. The exchange program with Fudan University, Shanghai, China is a good experience for me. Chinese is my native language. The teaching language is in Engish. I took me half year to combine my study and internship in China. The Chinese and Engish skill is no problem for daily life.
