The College's policy on student exchange programmes is formulated by the Student Development Programmes Committee. Every year, the College selects over 100 students to join the following exchange programmes:


College Exchange Programmes

The College started to establish student exchange programmes with overseas tertiary institutions in 1990. At present, the College has developed exchange programmes with the School of Management of Renesselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York, USA, the School of Business of University of Victoria in British Columbia, Canada, the University of Illinios at Urban-Champaign, USA and the Ritsumeikan Asia-Pacific University in Japan.

International Student Exchange Programme (ISEP)

Every year, the College selects at least two students to join the International Student Exchange Programme to study abroad for one year or one semester.

Other Exchange Programems

Students may apply to join exchange programmes offered by their departments or faculties. Currently, the Department of Japanese Studies, English, Architecture, School of Journalism and Communication and the Faculty of Business Administration are running such exchange programmes for Shaw College students.

In return, the College hosts over 100 overseas students on average to study for one semester or one academic year at the university through the above-mentioned and other university programmes every year.

2. Student Development Programmes

Aimed at widening students’ horizons, there are two programmes organized. They are Global Vision Award Programme and China Internship Award Programme. The former is a short-term cultural exchange programme. Students from the college and partner university pay visit to each other. Through activities of various types, they facilitate cultural exchange between the two groups of students. Under the China Internship Award Programme, students from the college and Hangzhou are arranged to have Internship at large enterprises in Mainland, and have visit at outstanding organizations in Hong Kong.

3. Language Enhancement Programmes

The College Language Enhancement Programme has been started since 1995 in order to enhance the language proficiency among the students. A series of non-formal language related activities, which include Language Workshop and Overseas Language Study Tours have been organized in term-time and summer holiday.

4. Mentorship Programme

College alumni are invited to serve as mentors and be matched with current students. Through mutual communication, both parties can benefit. Application from students are invited in September every year and the programme lasts for a year.
