Orientation Camp (for all students)
All students will join the orientation camp on campus on 13 – 15 July before the lessons start. Led by current CUHK students, they will get to know their fellow participants and experience the vibrant university life at CUHK through a series of activities.
They will also be able to gain insights into adapting to the university learning environment from current CUHK students.
