Courses

AU students directly enroll in Chinese University of Hong Kong for either a semester or a full year and earn AU credit. International students can take courses offered by the Faculty of Arts, Business Administration, Engineering, Science and Social Sciences, and courses offered by the International Asian Studies Programme at CUHK. As CUHK is a bilingual university, English, Cantonese and Putonghua are used for instruction. Courses taught in English are primarily offered in the areas of Chinese, Asian and international studies. However, there are various recommended courses taught in English in other Departments, including History, Biology, Anthropology, Government, Journalism and Communication, Management, and Marketing. There is also the opportunity to study Chinese language at all levels. For more information on courses available, please visit the CUHK website.

Most classes at CUHK are composed of lectures and tutorials. You will have numerous opportunities to interact with the local students, such as having discussion with them during tutorials, and working on projects or presentations together.

Internships

Students may independently arrange their own internships based upon personal contacts. Students must obtain prior approval from their academic advisor to receive major credit for their internship abroad.
