The New Asia College/ Yale University Summer Community Service Exchange programme, jointly launched by the New Asia College and the Yale-China Association in the academic year 2002/03, aims to facilitate mutual learning and exchanges between students with different cultural backgrounds from Hong Kong and the United States, and to enable them to understand the approaches and developments in community/ public services in various regions.

Given that the Hertford College of Oxford University is renowned worldwide, the New Asia College/ Hertford College of Oxford University Study Abroad and Cultural Exploration Programme attracts a large number of student applications every year, and the competition for places is fierce.

The fifteen selected students this year attended a three-week exchange programme in Hertford College from 8 to 28 July 2018. During their stay, our students enhanced their English proficiency through various means, and had the opportunity to learn about local culture, customs and history from multiple perspectives. The students could also meet with teaching staff and students of Oxford University for mutual learning and exchange, while gaining a deeper understanding of the lifestyle of each other.

Thanks to the funding support of the Mrs. Chou Wen Hsien and Ms. Yim Wan Chun Ina Scholarships, each participating student received a scholarship covering part of their tuition and air passage.
