Global learning and experience are critical to student success in the 21st century. It is necessary to expose students to diverse cultures, ideas, knowledge and skills that would prepare them for rewarding careers, responsible citizenship and leadership roles. CUHK provides a range of global education and experiential learning opportunities to meet the needs and aspirations of individual students.

Student exchange at CUHK began in 1965. Since then, the University has established student exchange programmes with over 280 partner institutions in more than 35 countries and regions. Every year, over 1,000 students undertake student exchange programmes at the University’s partner institutions for a summer, a term or an academic year.

To extend accessibility, the University’s Global Online Academic Learning Programmes (GOAL) allow students to benefit from global education and experience without having to travel. Such opportunities help students to hone their digital skills and prepare them for the global, technology-driven, and borderless workplace of tomorrow.
