The University is a forerunner in student exchange in the region, starting its first student exchange programme with the University of California in 1965. To date, there are student exchange programmes with over 280 institutions in more than 35 countries and regions. Every year, over 1,000 CUHK students undertake exchange at the partner institutions and over 1,500 students from around the world study at CUHK to add vigour to its multicultural campus. Besides, about 5,000 students benefit from short-term experiential learning opportunities outside of Hong Kong annually.
