Summer Programmes
Summer programmes can be an excellent way to:
Help you to decide which subject area really interests you Gain experience of a subject area in advance of your university applications – experience that you can reflect in your personal
statement (UK), college essays (USA) or statements of intent (Canada, HK and others). Get experience of undergraduate-style study (for academic programmes) Develop wider personal skills (e.g. interaction, teamwork, organisation and management)
It is worth considering a summer programme in the summer of L6 and/or F5. There are many on offer, both in HK and overseas. Some academic programmes are run by university staff; travel and adventure programmes are run by independent companies. Often, academic programmes combine both undergraduate-style study and social activities.
This list will be updated as and when the Guidance Dept receives details of new programmes, so please check back regularly.
Please note that in cases where we have not received updates for 2015, the information is based on what was offered in 2014.
