Short-term Study Abroad Programmes provide students with valuable opportunities to explore the world during winter or summer break to enrich their educational experience and learning. They are normally academically related and tied to courses/programmes offered by offshore institutions. Through cross-cultural interaction, students can gain first-hand experience in multi-cultural atmospheres like Korea, Japan, France, Italy, etc. The programmes are either organized or endorsed by the School, and students can gain credits by fulfilling the necessary criteria.
