Study Abroad Scheme

Study Abroad Scheme

The Study Abroad Scheme offers Shue Yan undergraduate students an opportunity for
international exposure with our partner universities outside Hong Kong. With financial support
from private scholarships and government subsidies, second- and third-year students are
encouraged to take advantage of the Study Abroad Scheme to earn transferable course credits
for 1 or 2 semesters at our partner universities. At present, Shue Yan has more than 75 partner
universities from 30 countries/regions (including Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada,
Finland, France, Germany, Greenland, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mainland China, Macau,
Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Republic of Korea, Russia, Singapore, Spain,
Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States and Vietnam).
Through participation in the Scheme, students will be able to:

➢ improve their language skills
➢ inspire their interest in learning
➢ enrich their academic and life experiences
➢ be more independent
➢ engage in a multicultural environment
➢ build and strengthen their international networks
➢ develop a global perspective
➢ cultivate cross-cultural skills and knowledge in order to help them become competitive
in the globalized world

In addition to sending our students to study abroad, the Study Abroad Scheme also invites
foreign students from our partner universities to study at Shue Yan as exchange students.
Through befriending students from different cultural backgrounds, Shue Yan students can learn
about each other’s cultures, and share their life experiences and insights of learning.
