Apply to attend ACU Summer School in

Hong Kong 2018 (Bursaries Available)

 

Deadline: January 14, 2018

The Association of Commonwealth Universities invites applications for the 2018 ACU Summer School taking place 1-9 July at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. The 2018 School will be a stimulating week of expert lectures by local and international speakers, skills development, social events providing insights into the fascinating culture of Hong Kong, group work, networking opportunities, and field trips to key sites such as the Jao Tsung-I Academy, the Blue House Cluster, and the Mapopo Community Farm.

The Summer School programme has been developed by senior academics from The Chinese University of Hong Kong’s well-established Urban Studies programme. It’s a small and friendly event which is capped at 50 participants.

Theme
