University Extensions 137 Part 3 CUHK Summer Institute The University has been hosting the CUHK Summer Institute (SI) since 2007 to give secondary school students a taste of university education and campus life. Held in July, the two-week credit-beraring programme provides an invaluable opportunity for students in secondary five (or equivalent level) to prepare for their upcoming undergraduate studies. Every year, the CUHK SI brings together over 300 enthusiastic learners from Hong Kong and around the world to explore different academic disciplines through short courses taught by outstanding CUHK academics, and experience university and residential life through activities led by CUHK students.
