Student Exchange

Course Plan and Credit Load Requirement

Before Departures:

All outbound exchange students should prepare a course plan prior to their exchange. They should select courses from the host institution which are relevant to their major programme. The course registration form should be signed by the Assistant Programme Leader.

All outbound EE exchange students are required to take no less than 12 credits (European credit system: no less than 20 credits) or equivalent; or fullfill the minimum workload of the host University for one semester during the exchange studies.

While on Exchange:

Students should keep your exchange course syllabus and relevant documents to support the credit transfer application upon your return to CityU. Any reduction of study load must be finally approved by the Assistant Major Programme Leader with recommendation by the EE Student Exchange Coordinator prior to or during the exchange.

Failure to fulfill this will result in partial or total withdrawal of cash award or scholarship provided by the University.

Return from Exchange:

After completing the exchange study, students are required to return the following to EE General Office (Angela Fok-CDE Major; Helena Lee-ELEL/ECE Major; Christy Leung-INFE Major):

  • submit a 500-word reflective journal
  •  provide 4 high-resolution photos representative of the exchange experience
  • submit the transcript issued by the host institution
  • submit the approved Credit Transfer Pre-Approved Application (Non-GE Courses) / GE Courses Credit Transfer Pre-Approval Application, if students would like to transfer credits back to CityU
