Unlike some “study abroad” programmes, the lASP is not an independent foreign studies operation, but is fully integrated into the regular academic, administrative, and social fabric of The Chinese University. lASP participants and their Chinese counterparts live in the same hostels. They are enrolled in courses in Asian and Chinese studies, some taught in English, as part of the regular University curriculum for both IASP participants and local Chinese students. Courses are planned and offered by the relevant Boards of Studies and the Chinese Language Centre. A Director and two Associate Directors have administrative responsibility for the Programme. 83
