CityU is committed to promote campus internationalisation. Great events that encourage interaction between local and non-local students are happening on campus all year round. Let’s take a quick look at the efforts that foster multi-cultural integration!

The International Friends Club, a buddy programme that connects CityU students and friends from other countries, organises excursions to explore the beauty of Hong Kong.

International Culture Carnival –non-local students served food and distributed souvenirs that are characteristic of their home countries.

Diwali, the Hindu “festival of lights”, was celebrated at the Student Residence. Students dressed in traditional Indian clothing and lit candles. Traditional Indian dances and music performance kept the 250 participants entertained.

Students from the College of Business spent 4 weeks in Laos for volunteer work and cultural visits.

To enhance students’ global perspectives, CityU interns were sent to metropolises like Berlin, Munich, London, Shanghai and Sydney for a 7 to 12-week placement under Global Work Attachment Programme (GWAP).

Students of various origins participated in the sports and cultural competitions under Professor Edmond Ko Cup, which aims to promote exchange between local and non-local residents as well as inter-hall interaction, hall spirit and sportsmanship.
