Study Abroad Scheme

Study Abroad Scheme

The Study Abroad Scheme offers Shue Yan undergraduate students an opportunity to
complete part of their education with our partners outside Hong Kong. Students may study
abroad for one or two semesters. At present, Shue Yan has partners from 19 countries/
regions (including Australia, Austria, Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, Mainland
China, Malaysia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Republic of Korea, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan,
Thailand, United Kingdom, United States and Vietnam). Through participation in the Scheme,
students will be able to:

 enrich their academic experience through learning in different contexts
 meet people from around the world and build an international network
 enrich their life experience
 enhance their competitive edge via international exposure and acquisition of trans-

ferable skills
 live independently in a multicultural environment and experience a new culture
 improve their language skills
 build up self-confidence
 learn to be more self-sufficient and promote personal development

Besides outgoing students, the Study Abroad Scheme provides opportunities for stu-
dents from our partners to come and study at Shue Yan for one or two semesters as an
exchange student. Through such arrangement, the Scheme will create chances for Shue Yan
students, who opt not to go for studying abroad, to make new friends from different countries/
regions and to build an international network. In addition, Shue Yan also offers Overseas
Summer School Programmes which are all credit-bearing.

Both the HKSAR Government and Shue Yan have offered different financial support and
scholarship schemes in order to encourage more students to participate in exchange
activities.
