Thus 14 options of summer programmes will be provided this year in universities from the UK, France, the US, Canada, Korea, New Zealand and other countries, she added.

The Information Session on 19 February about the 2014 IDO Off-Campus Summer Programmes was attended by many students.

Assistant Director Ms Li Mei encouraged students to explore something new in their life. “Studying abroad can influence your way of thinking,” she said.

Ten students who participated in previous programmes shared their stories.

Zhang Wenhui attended Kyung Hee University’s summer programme last year. She gave some tips of living in Korea, paying heed to the high living expenses and frequent rains in July.

Cheng Shuangyu showed pictures about the Saint Joseph’s College’s summer programme she attended. She established a memorable friendship then.

The programme offered by Taiwan Art University is the only Chinese speaking programme. Huang Shujie joined last year and lauded it for opening her eyes on the cultural and creative industry.
