CUHK’s Co-operative Education Programme (Co-op@CUHK) prides itself in being the first of its kind in Hong Kong, open to CUHK’s penultimate and final-year students of all disciplines who exhibit good academic standing, a breadth of extra-curricular activities and a positive, can-do attitude. Co-op@CUHK is an academically accredited programme that combines classroom learning with productive and paid work experience in a field related to students’ academic or career goals. Through around eight months of valuable paid work experience alongside CUHK’s bespoke courses, Co-op gives students the opportunity to build up their technical soft skills, industry insights and professional networks while earning their degree.
