About the Programme
The College has specially arranged a summer programme for exchange students. They will conduct a research project under the supervision of a faculty member at CityU. Apart from gaining research experience, they will have the opportunity to participate in outside classroom activities. For example, industrial visits and cultural events will be organized to give them a brief introduction of the industrial establishment in Hong Kong as well as a taste of the Chinese culture.
