A Vibrant Summer at PolyU

Summer is not only a great time for students to relax but also an excellent opportunity to gain exceptional learning experiences and meet new friends from around the world! PolyU’s colourful summer programmes offer young students the opportunity to unlock their potential and gear up for bright futures.

PolyU organised a range of programmes targeting students of different study levels. All these programmes provided local and overseas participants with cherished memories of PolyU and Hong Kong.

This year, the PolyU International Summer School attracted over 400 undergraduates from 20 countries and regions to join this one-month programme. Besides local tours and workshops to experience Hong Kong culture, students delved into credit-bearing courses covering a wide range of topics from Chinese culture, design, and technology to entrepreneurship and leadership, including the subject “Tomorrow’s Leaders”, which has won the QS Reimagine Education Awards and UGC Teaching Award. Students from across borders embarked on an incredible learning and cultural exchange journey.

For high school students, PolyU also offers two engaging summer programmes. The PolyU Summer Institute, now in its second year, welcome over 250 students from 12 countries and regions. Through a five-day residential camp, participants immersed themselves in various attachment programmes. Local students had the opportunity to experience PolyU’s signature Service-Learning programme, contributing to communities in need. International students explored Hong Kong’s cultural landmarks through local tours. Additionally, some students opted for a week-long, credit-bearing “Innovation and Entrepreneurship” course to cultivate an innovative mindset.
