(3) Only credit-bearing exchange activities (including studies, internships and job attachments) will be sponsored under the Student Exchange Programme.
(4) Duration of the exchange should be either one semester or one academic year.
(5) Students MUST resume studies at HKBU after the exchange programme.
(6) Except for exchanges with institutions in some Asian countries and in the Mainland China, students are required to attain a minimum TOEFL / IELTS score (which varies from among institutions) for admission purposes. You are strongly advised to take the TOEFL or IELTS examination one month in advance of your application submission to the International Office, as you will be required to provide a proof of English proficiency to the host university. Your TOEFL/IELTS score will also facilitate our selection on your suitability for participating in the exchange programmes as well as matching you to an appropriate host institution.
