CUHK International Summer School 2013

CUHK welcomed some 500 international students to CUHK's International Summer School (ISS). Held from 2 July to 5 August, ISS offers an exceptional opportunity for participating students to immerse themselves in a multicultural environment, gain insight into Asian cultures, and experience a unique learning environment on the green, spacious CUHK campus outside regular term time. Students attend classes during the week and explore Hong Kong on weekends. Held for the 9th year, the ISS brings students from 37 countries to the University, making the campus a melting pot of cultures in the summer.

Consulate visits

The Office of Academic Links organized visits to consulates in Hong Kong between May and July to help outgoing exchange students from CUHK prepare for their forthcoming exchange programme. Students met with consulate representatives to learn about the unique culture of the host countries and features of the host universities. They were also provided with useful information about visa application.
