Student Exchange Programmes for 2024-25 open for application
Student exchange has been at the core of CUHK’s global engagement efforts. Our first exchange partnership was established with the University of California System in 1965, just two years after the establishment of the University. Today, we partner with some 270 institutions of higher learning in over 35 countries and regions, with over 1,000 students undertaking an exchange for a summer, a term or even an academic year. For many students, these are eye-opening and life-changing experiences that fosters a broader perspective of the world and stimulates personal growth. Students have access to courses that are not available at CUHK, experience different learning styles, and develop networks and friendships that last a lifetime.

“During this exchange semester, I joined the School’s Saxophone Quartet, Jazz Ensemble, and Symphonic Band. Although I am the youngest in the saxophone quartet, I did not feel like I was treated any differently. When it came to making compromises and agreements during rehearsals, I appreciated the culture in that everyone’s idea is accepted equally.”

Exchanged at Australian National University, Australia
“My most memorable experience is that I was given the chance to assist the experiment team with their research at the Mulligans Flat Woodland Sanctuary and performed animal trapping and processing for Bettong and Quoll Monitoring. My contribution of data and other work are being used for the ongoing study and conservation project held in the nature reserve.”

“There are many international conferences and meetings held in Europe. I am sincerely grateful that I had a chance to attend an UNFCCC meeting of Article 6.4 in the city of Bonn during my exchange. The meeting broadened my horizon and motivated me to learn more about environmental policy.”
