Overview

What the program has to offer:

The second oldest university in Hong Kong offering a full range of disciplines; from traditional areas like History and Philosophy, reputable programs like Translation and Journalism, professional subjects such as Law and Medicine, and practical training in Education and Nursing

A diverse and vibrant international student community
Located in Hong Kong, an eclectic city with a culture rich in Chinese customs and generously sprinkled with influences from southeast Asia and the West
Situated on a spacious 134-hectare campus with some 110 state-of-the-art buildings. It rises from Tolo Harbour just north of Sha Tin - a burgeoning new town in Hong Kong's historic rural area

Students applying for this exchange are also encouraged to apply for funding through the Alberta-Hong Kong Young Scholars Exchange Award and the Julia KS Liu Undergraduate Scholarship.

Why don't you combine your participation in this exchange with participation in an internship as well? We could send you on a TusStar Internship or an IWE internship in Hong Kong before or after your exchange. If you are interested in going out on two programs send an email to goabroad@ualberta.ca asking for more details.
