Prospective FYP students who intend to join an exchange or internship program for 1 term in Fall Term, please note that:

In general, students are NOT advised to work on a FYP during their exchange/internship period in view of the changes of student status.

For those who would like to proceed MUST follow these instructions to make a request. All other forms of request will NOT be considered.

FYP supervisor should directly send the supporting letter containing below items to FYP coordinator:

  • FYP supervisors should screen objective statements and, if necessary, revise to meet the above qualifications;
  • Which objective statement(s) the student will LEAD during his/her leave;
  • Explain how the student would work on the project during the period of his/her leave, or guarantee the student can access necessary facility to do FYP and get adequate supervision from supervisor or co-supervisor during the exchange/internship (absence);
  • Guarantee the student will submit the proposal report during the exchange/internship (absence) in Fall Term;
