Summer Institute (SI)

Orientation

Hello Hong Kong (for non-local students only)

Designed for international participants joining the SI, the two-day “Hello Hong Kong” session from 12 – 13 July will let them settle down in their student hostel and learn how they could make the most out of their stay in Hong Kong with their new friends. During the two-week programme, there will be many opportunities for them to experience the local cultures and explore Hong Kong through different activities, visits and interaction with the local students in and out of the classroom.

Orientation Camp (for all students)

All students will join the orientation camp on campus on 13 – 15 July before the lessons start. Led by current CUHK students, they will get to know their fellow participants and experience the vibrant university life at CUHK through a series of activities. They will also be able to gain insights into adapting to the university learning environment from current CUHK students.

To many previous SI participants, some of the fondest memories and lasting friendships originated from the orientation camp. Through joining the orientation, they will be able to interact with other students and CUHK student mentors.

Closing Ceremony (for all students)

At the end of the programme, a closing ceremony will be held on 25 July to conclude the two-week learning experience.
