Hong Kong: Beyond the Classroom

University of Hong Kong (HKU)

Year-long EAP students at HKU may be able to participate during their second semester in one of two special programs sponsored by the Faculty of Social Sciences. Interested students should include a preliminary inquiry with their EAP application.

The Social Sciences Internship Programme is jointly supervised by HKU faculty members and local employers. Acceptance is based on a student’s academic record, extracurricular activities, and performance in a series of interviews. For more information see the Social Innovation Internship (SI²) website.
The Student Researchers Scheme places social science undergraduates in research assistant positions where they work with faculty on research projects in politics, public administration, psychology, sociology, social administration, statistics, and actuarial science.

Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK)

EAP students may develop their own directed research or independent study projects with an appropriate CUHK professor. Working under the supervision of a CUHK faculty member provides an excellent opportunity to practice language skills while contributing to ongoing research in a variety of fields, including anthropology, art, dance, economics, international trade and commerce, language studies, music, political science, and sociology. Additional information about these opportunities will be provided upon request after arrival.
