ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½app on display for Hong Kong students

CCCU students take part in two-week exposure program. 

A group of students and teachers from Hong Kong’s Community College of City University (CCCU) have embarked on an academic and cultural study tour of ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½app, the Illawarra and Sydney.

In July 2015 ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½app assumed stewardship and governance of CCCU, strengthening ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½app’s position as a global higher education provider in North-East Asia. In 2016 the first CCCU study tour took place at ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½app.

Over the next two weeks, 41 students and two staff members from CCCU will participate in a variety of activities including English Conversation groups, English for Academic Purposes lessons, academic briefings, community engagement and local sightseeing activities. The students will stay with local families for the duration of the tour.

The group will be attending the Welcome to ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½app event today (Tuesday 8 August) and will participate in an all-day community engagement activity with Conservation Volunteers at Lake Illawarra on Wednesday 16 August.

Since 2016, ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½app has hosted more 70 students from CCCU through study tours. The study tour provides an opportunity for the students to visit Australia, visit the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½app campus, gain a taste of Australian culture and improve their language skills.

The study tour has been supported by a variety of ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½app faculties and divisions to present a program that provides cultural insights and academic learning. Students will be required to present what they have learned about Australia on their last day on campus to a panel of both ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½app and CCCU staff. The presentation will form part of the assessment for the study tour.
