Dear Students,
Greetings from the Office of Co-operative Education Programme!
Application for the 5th Cohort (here) is now open. The Co-operative Education Programme is an unique initiative which blends classroom learning with full-time placements, making it ideal for motivated Year 2 or above students across all disciplines. This is your chance to gain invaluable real-world experience while enhancing your academic journey. You could secure a placement with one of our 130+ corporate partners.
Why to Join?
• Real-World Experience: Gain hands-on experience in your field of study and make valuable connections.
• Career Development: Strengthen your resume and boost your employability with practical skills.
• Networking Opportunities: Meet industry professionals and fellow students who share your ambitions.
How it works?
Participating students will take 2 preparatory courses (COOP3001 and COOP3002) to meet their future challenges at workplace, followed by a two-term work placement (COOP4001) which will last for 6 to 8 months. Given that Co-op placement is credit bearing, Co-op students do not need to apply for suspension of studies throughout the two work terms while they can still enjoy the welfare and benefits as CUHK students.
Who can join?
Degree seeking students of year 2 or above are eligible to join us.
Check out the following student sharing from Yuxin Li from Chung Chi College who is currently undertaking her placement at ROHTO Pharmaceutical in Japan. You can also refer to our pamphlet below for more details.
