CUHK offers over 230 student exchange programmes. There are different types of student exchange programmes (including university-wide, college, faculty and department). University-wide student exchange programmes are administered by the Office of Academic Links and are available to all CUHK students. Students may also participate in student exchange programmes offered through their Colleges, Faculties and Departments.

Since AY1999-2000, the Student Visitors Exchange Programme has been organized annually by our Department and the Departments of Psychology at Peking University and National Taiwan University. Undergraduate and postgraduate students, together with faculty members, from these three universities meet to exchange ideas and experiences about psychological research and education.

Summer-to-summer exchange programmes are offered with various overseas institutions that allow undergraduate students to take credit-bearing courses during the summer holiday. Students can choose courses from a variety of disciplines, including arts, business, engineering, law, science and social sciences, as well as getting the opportunity to explore the host country and its culture.

A number of other short-term study-abroad (fee-paying) options are offered by non-CUHK units.
