THE AMAZING EXPERIENCE OF BEING AN EXCHANGE STUDENT
Hong Kong University
CHINA
The exchange was really a meaningful experience for me and my personal growth. The semester spent in HKU and
wonderful city Hong Kong made me move from my comfort zone and push my limits, resulting in new connections from worldwide including other exchange students, local people and
Professors. I learned a lot academically, obtaining construction insides from experts in their fields. University also gave me
opportunities to field trips in Mainland China funded by the club that I was the part of, I have visited SanMenxia, Shenzhen and Henan. Additionally travelled along HK islands by the course curriculum to investigate soil and rock. Cultural events were also provided by External Affairs for holidays.

I was very lucky to be an exchange student at LKYSPP as the entire school’s professors are mainly economists and almost all of them utilize a quantitative approach. As a result, this semester was the most productive for me as I’ve learned various programs and platforms including Stata, R and Excel in advanced level. I will recommend this opportunity to all students who want to challenge their knowledge and abilities. It is an excellent opportunity to learn from professors, students with various backgrounds and establish new friendships.

SOUTH KOREA
My exchange program at KDI School of Public Policy and Management in South Korea was an incredible journey that offered both academic and personal growth. Academically, I had the opportunity to learn from experts in public policy and management, gaining insights that will benefit me in my future career. The challenging coursework sharpened my critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Beyond academics, the exposure to a new culture was truly enriching. I had the chance to make meaningful connections with fellow students from around the world, expanding my network and perspectives. Additionally, learned basic Korean, which helped me immerse myself more in the local culture. Overall, this experience was transformative, both in terms of my education and personal development. I am grateful for NUGSPP for providing this opportunity.
