The experience was eye-opening that we were exposed to various Chinese cultures like Kungfu, Cha Dao, etc. Although it was relatively intensive, my summer has never been that fascinating. The course I took is about Development Economy taught by Prof. Liu Yu and it doesn’t require students to have any specific knowledge beforehand. Though the course is a bit demanding, I’m trained to become a quick learner. Collins FANG (Fudan University) I took German courses during the summertime as I’m interested in it, and I think it might be helpful to my personal enrichment. I’m delighted that students could receive great support for various exploration even under the pandemic. Danial DONG (University of Vienna) The 3 weeks Summer Virtual Exchange was an intellectually stimulating journey. I enrolled in a course called War & Diplomacy offered by the Department of War Studies. As the only Asian in the class, I was able to share my views and discuss the issues related to China and Hong Kong with others. Hugo CHU (King’s College London) Exchange I went to Prague a few years ago and I love the city, so I applied to the virtual exchange program offered by Charles University. I took a course about the architecture styles in Prague and one about Jewish history, and both courses were fascinating. We even had virtual tours of the city during the class to find out more about the place! Natalie CHU (Czech Republich) I’m very happy to have the opportunity to participate in the Summer Virtual Exchange Program. It was definitely a great opportunity to meet different amazing people around the world, especially under the pandemic. And I got a chance to take courses that are not offered at HKUST! Charlotte LAU (Tsinghua University) I really enjoyed the SJTU AI Camp! At first, I was afraid it’s hard to catch up as I didn’t have any knowledge about programming. Yet, the Camp was designed for students without any background on AI. Therefore, I was able to learn how to use Python and create a simple calculator. Lok Man KWAN (Shanghai Jiao Tong University) This summer exchange had broadened my horizonsandallowedme to furtherdevelopmy interests. I took two courses at RUC with one on international relations in movie industry and the other on hedge funds. Though the program was held online, we were able to meet with people from different parts of the world and exchange views with them. Waverly OU YANG (Renmin University of China) NOTE: Due to the pandemic, HKUST has suspended all physical exchange programs and offered virutal exchange experiences to all undergraduate students. 7 SHSS Undergraduate Newsletter 2021________________________________________________ 6 ________________________________________________SHSS Undergraduate Newsletter 2021
