Global Opportunities

Summer break presents an exceptional opportunity to balance study and social life in an engaging international environment.

Our various summer programmes see students broadening cultural horizons at distinct destinations across the globe while furthering overall education in one of our many partner institutions. The CityU Discovery@World Programme uniquely tailors curriculums to individual locations, presenting students with a prospectus adapted to each destination’s culture.

Understanding the differences in international business operations is fundamental for workplace relations. Study tours grant students access to organisations worldwide, allowing them to engage in professional business environments while practicing and acquiring valuable skills that can benefit future careers.

From leadership and interpersonal communication to interviewing and presentation, these credit and noncredit-bearing study tours are particularly placed for business-focused cultural awareness.

Internships are an important stepping stone from education to employability. CityU is dedicated to preparing students for future careers through non-local platforms where skillsets are enhanced both in and out of the workplace. From close-to-home opportunities in the Greater Bay Area to international Working Holiday Scheme destinations across East Asia, Australia & Oceania, Europe, and North America, our internship platforms immerse students in tangible business environments, stimulating chances of employability in the competitive contemporary job market.

Language can open doors and create opportunities. Our Cultural and Language Immersion Scheme (CALIS) financially supports undergraduate students to travel overseas and engage exclusively in a foreign-language environment.

Through a month of intensive classes, alongside community interactions and engaging homestays, these experiences equip them with a greater understanding of global cultural sensibilities. Previous schemes have seen the programme travel to Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the UK.

CityU’s global learning opportunities are forever evolving, the programmes on offer ensuring students are equipped with an international advantage among progressive global dynamics.

From internships at the world’s most prominent organisations and curriculums covering technological advances to volunteer and community engagement schemes that spotlight ventures affecting change, our programmes are constantly adapting to suit the ever-changing landscape of our contemporary world.
