HONG KONG

At first glance, you’ll see Hong Kong as an ultramodern city. But you’ll soon look deeper and realize that with its mixture

of Western and Eastern values, cultures, and traditions, Hong Kong is also your ideal gateway to China, and to

all of East and Southeast Asia.

SU Hong Kong takes full advantage of its connections with leading education institutions, organizations,

and businesses across the region. This translates into opportunities for you, both inside and beyond the classroom.

Through extended travel seminars, field study, and guided research projects or internships, you will meet and interact with local students and scholars, community and business leaders, journalists, politicians, artists, and entrepreneurs.

Though daily life in Hong Kong is distinctly fast-paced, there is another dimension you will discover: the deep cultural

connections that center on family, friends, celebration, and tradition. Come find your place in Hong Kong.

YOUR PLACE IN HONG KONG

02 HONG KONG suabroad.syr.edu

“I was pretty naive when I first arrived. I thought Hong Kong was just another New York City in Asia. I have never been so wrong. I had expected the big buildings and skyscrapers, but the magnificent beaches, and the outrageous hiking, bike riding, and boating were all news to me. I was happily surprised.”

Tristan Ruzicmarketing and entrepreneurship major

Living in Hong Kong

HONG KONG IS one of the world’s most dynamic cities and boasts an abundance

of cultural resources and entertainment venues, including museums, theaters,

art galleries, and restaurants. During your stay, you’ll live and travel like a local.

The SU Hong Kong program is based at City University of Hong Kong (commonly

known as CityU). Students enrolled in SU Center classes live in shared apartments,

a short commute away. Those enrolled in CityU classes will be placed in a CityU

residence hall on campus. All students have access to CityU facilities, including

a sports complex, an Olympic-sized pool, and an ultramodern library. Inexpensive

meals are available at CityU’s four cafeterias or at local restaurants or noodle shops.

City University is located in Kowloon, only a few minutes’ walk from the MTR (Mass

Transit Railway), Hong Kong’s inexpensive and efficient public transportation line.

Because it is so easy and inexpensive to travel, you will also want to explore

beyond the city. More than 70 percent of Hong Kong is woodland, grass, and

scrub, and there are beaches, fishing villages, and rural communities where life

has gone unchanged for centuries.

good to know Hong Kong was returned

to China in 1997, after 150

years as a British colony.

Dim sum, a style of

Cantonese food of

bite-size portions

prepared in steamer

baskets, is popular in

Hong Kong restaurants.

Hong Kong’s economy

is enormous: The

city is home to over

40,000 companies.

The city’s official languages are Cantonese

and English, so all

official signs are in

both languages.

You’ll want to consider purchasing an Octopus

card, an electronic debit

card that is accepted on

public transportation, and

by shops, supermarkets,

universities, fast food

restaurants, and

convenience stores.



Academic Program

THE SU HONG KONG PROGRAM features two distinct options: study at the SU

Hong Kong Center or full enrollment at City University of Hong Kong. Whichever

you choose, you’ll enjoy the support of administrative staff at the SU Center and

participate in activities designed to augment the classroom experience.

WHEN YOU APPLY, YOU’LL CHOOSE ONE OF TWO OPTIONS:

Hong Kong CenterThe SU Hong Kong Center program consists of three

modules taught by SU Abroad faculty.

Module A is a 3-credit Signature Seminar: The

Challenges and Opportunities of Southeast Asia:

China, Malaysia, and Singapore (fall semester) or

The Greater China: Past, Present, and Future (spring

semester). See descriptions on page 13.

Module B consists of 10 weeks of intensive

classroom instruction. Choose three to five courses

from a selection of offerings in business, economics,

political science, history, religion, and Chinese, earning

up to 13 credits. Students with no prior knowledge

of Chinese language are required to take beginning

Mandarin (CHI 101, 4 credits) or beginning Cantonese

conversation (FLL 141, 1 credit). Intermediate and

advanced Mandarin courses are offered for students

with previous course work in the language.

The next five weeks (Module C) are devoted to an

intensive, 3-credit internship/experience credit or

independent study/guided research. At the end of

Module C, students reconvene to share and analyze

learning experiences.

Hong Kong Center & City University of Hong KongTake all your course work in English at CityU alongside

Chinese students. In the fall, you may participate in

the Signature Seminar, but an internship component

is not possible, due to the CityU semester calendar.

In the spring, the Signature Seminar is not available;

however, at the end of the semester, you may enroll

in a five-week internship in Shanghai or Beijing for an

additional fee. Talk to the SU Hong Kong admissions

counselor for more information.

The programs of study at City University of Hong

Kong include management, business, humanities,

engineering, and social sciences. Full-time study in

the College of Science and Engineering is available

only to Syracuse engineering majors.

“The Signature Seminar at the start of the semester gave me the most memories. It was then that I immediately fell in love with China, solidifying my desire to work there in the future! There is so much to do, and there are so many places to go. The best part of it is the opportunity to mingle with people from around the world, especially as Hong Kong is a top business destination for expatriates.”

Emily Swiateksupply chain and marketing management major

Signature Seminar

YOUR SEMESTER WILL BEGIN with a two-week seminar designed to give you

an experiential overview of China’s history and culture. SU Signature Seminars

and course-related field study provide on-site learning opportunities that simply

cannot be duplicated in the classroom.

FALL SIGNATURE SEMINARThe Challenges and Opportunities of Southeast Asia: China, Malaysia, and Singapore

HST 400.1/IRP 300.1 (3 credits) required for Hong Kong

Center students; optional for CityU program students

Riding on a wave of increasing economic and

political confidence, the nations of Southeast Asia

are exercising new and significant influence on

world affairs. This seminar takes you to Mainland

China, Malaysia, and Singapore for an overview of

the economic, political, cultural, and environmental

significance of the region. On your journey, you will

explore Confucianism and Taoism and examine Islamic

culture and art. You will also visit prominent financial,

historic, and cultural sites to build foundational

knowledge for your semester in Hong Kong. CityU

program students earn 2 credits for the pre-semester

traveling portion of this seminar.

SPRING SIGNATURE SEMINARThe Greater China: Past, Present, and Future

HUM/IRP 300.2 (3 credits) required for Hong Kong

Center students

Your journey will take you to several key cities in

Mainland China and Taiwan to experience firsthand

the history, culture, and aspirations of China. You’ll

visit monuments of the past, such as the Great Wall

in Beijing, and signposts to the future, such as the

massive investments in infrastructure. The seminar

also includes lectures by distinguished academics,

foreign correspondents, and leading businesspeople,

and encounters with ordinary people in their homes,

shops, offices, and cultural centers. This seminar will

help frame your semester in Hong Kong.


“I interned at Asia City Media Group in the Hong Kong Magazine department, writing features, stories, and columns. In my first week, I attended a media preview to interview the founders of the Jack Wills clothing brand. I enjoyed having the opportunity to network with important media officials in Hong Kong daily. This internship is going to pave the way for my career.”

Dominique Pierrotmarketing management major

Internships and Guided Research

MODULE C IS a five-week session that allows Hong Kong Center students to

pursue professional development opportunities—either through an internship

with a company/organization or through structured research with guidance from

an on-site professor.

EXPERIENCE CREDIT AND INTERNSHIPSHong Kong internships (defined by the Hong Kong Immigration Department

as “Hands-on Attachment Training”) provide a practical understanding of how

businesses function and also enable students to establish contacts and gain

impressive résumé-building experience. This intensive program (placements

are at least 40 hours a week) is for qualified students with a minimum 3.0 GPA

and relevant course work and/or prior experience in the requested internship

field. Some internships require Chinese-language skills. Placements include

international and nongovernmental organizations, businesses, banking firms,

companies in the communications industry, and many more. A list of representative

placements can be found on the SU Abroad website. All internships are for 3 credits;

requirements are posted on the website.

Selected candidates are invited for interviews by interested companies. Because

the program is competitive, placements cannot be guaranteed.

INDEPENDENT STUDY/GUIDED RESEARCHMany students develop specific interests during Module A and Module B that they

wish to explore in more depth. With the help of SU Hong Kong professors and

professionals, students are able to take advantage of excellent on-site resources

to conduct both library and primary research (through interviews, surveys, etc.).

A listing of more than 80 past and newly designed topics and projects is posted on

our website. Students earn 3 credits for their projects in business administration,

economics, finance, history, marketing, religion, political science, and regional

security and antiterrorism. Students who want to design a project in a field not

listed will need to submit a proposal for approval upon acceptance to the program.

The territory of Hong Kong

consists of more than

200 islands.
