The summer of 1997 was the first offering of the University of Toronto’s Summer Program in Hong Kong. In 23 summers over 5,000 students have participated in this incredibly popular and successful program.
This Hong Kong summer program is not only of interest to students majoring in East Asian Studies, Asia-Pacific Studies, Religion and Visual Arts, but to anyone who wants to complete an elective course in an academically and culturally stimulating environment.
The program is hosted by the University of Hong Kong (HKU), Hong Kong’s oldest and largest institution for higher learning, established in 1911.
Study in Hong Kong!
- Beneath the glittering lights of Hong Kong you will find a city embracing both its traditional Chinese culture and its modern Western influences. Hong Kong offers a world-famous skyline as well as peaceful countryside, open-air markets, floating restaurants and amazing mountain scenery.
- Hong Kong Island is at the centre of it all with its busy government, financial and business districts. A seven-minute ferry ride across one of the most beautiful harbours in the world takes you to the Kowloon Peninsula on the mainland, an intense 24-hour shopping and tourist destination. Beyond Kowloon is the charming, traditional New Territories, which include the rest of the mainland and Hong Kong’s other 234 islands.
Program Activities
