University of Hong Kong Exchange Program

Requirements to Participate

• You must have completed one year of University-level study before the exchange begins
• You must be nominated for the program by the U-M architecture program chair
• You can be nominated to study at the University of Hong Kong for one semester
• Your application must be accepted by the University of Hong Kong
• If you are admitted as an exchange student at the University of Hong Kong, you will remain enrolled with your home institution and continue to pay your home institution tuition
• The academic program you undertake may be credited toward your degree as per the formal agreement between the two institutions
