Destinations and Requirements
CityU has exchange partners all over the world! Exchange opportunities are classified into three levels: institutional, college, and departmental. The level of the exchange programme determines the application deadline, the GPA requirement, the exchange institutions, and the courses that you can take. If you apply for a departmental-level exchange, then you should expect to take courses related to your major. If you apply for a college-level exchange, then you should expect to take courses from the business field in general.
