Cross-Institutional Course Enrolment Scheme

The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) is in a collaboration agreement with City University of Hong Kong (CityU) in a Cross-Institutional Course Enrolment Scheme and this scheme allows mathematics students at undergraduate level of both institutes to enroll in courses offered by them. This collaboration also allows the mathematics students to benefit from the expertise available in the partner institute and also provides students with more choices of courses.

This scheme is applicable to full-time undergraduate students in Bachelor of Science in Mathematics of CUHK and Bachelor of Science in Computing Mathematics of City University of Hong Kong. Students who wish to apply for courses offered by the partner institution should submit an application to the partner institution via their home institution by the deadline stipulated for each term and must attain a cumulative overall GPA of at least 3.0 at the time of application. Applications should be accompanied by the endorsement of their home institution.
