An exchange experience is more than just studying away from the University for a period of time. It is an opportunity to
gain an elevated awareness and broadened understanding of the world. Learning beyond the classroom through studying
in another country can be an eye-opening and enriching journey. It helps you to look at intercultural understandings in new
ways.
At CUHK, more than 240 student exchange programmes at 29 destinations around the world through colleges, faculties,
academic departments and the Office of Academic Links (OAL) are available. You will find the following information useful
when considering to apply for exchange.
Who is eligible?
