International Student Exchange Programme

International Exchange
 
HKU’s vision statement for 2016-2025 specifies Internationalisation as one of the 3+1 I’s supporting the University’s commitment to being Asia’s Global University, alongside Interdisciplinarity, Innovation and Impact. In line with the University’s strategic theme of internationalisation, many efforts have been made in expanding students and staff diversity and collaboration network. As of December 2019, the School has entered into agreement with 46 renowned School of Nursing around the globe, providing opportunities for students from our partner universities and HKU nursing students to learn, feel and experience a different learning environment, a different culture and a different taste of life.

The “East-meets-West” Luncheon has been serving as a platform for both incoming and outgoing exchange students to strengthen their social network with students from different parts of the world.

East-meets-West Luncheon 2019

Vibrant and proactive HKUSON students, who are excited to meet new friends around the world, will serve as HKUSON Student Ambassadors. As a Student Ambassador, the student will take up the role to introduce HKU and the School to students from the visiting institutions, to arrange cultural activities and to provide support in the University community. It is a great opportunity for HKUSON students to strengthen the sense of belonging towards the School and enhance their communication skills, social skills, and proactiveness.
