Following the success of the first Greater Bay Area Summer School (GBASS) held in 2020, CUHK organized the second CUHK GBASS under the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau University Alliance Summer School Series in 2021. In 2022, CUHK organized Summer School for Mainland Students (SSMS) to extend the admission to all partner universities in the Mainland and Macao with a greater variety of participation.
SSMS is a two-week credit-bearing programme held on 1-12 August 2022. It offers five courses where each participant can choose one of the courses to participate in SSMS. The application for SSMS was overwhelmingly good. CEO received nearly 400 applications from 77 mainland universities. Due to the limited quota, 175 students were admitted to participate in SSMS. Participants take this opportunity to communicate with students from different mainland universities and learn from each other.
