Exchange Study Report

Your report is an important source of information that enables future exchange students to learn more about the institution you attended, the courses and services it offers, and campus life. Your personal experience is extremely valuable and worth sharing.

Reports should be submitted online via a qualtrics form, based on the instructions provided by Office of Global Learning (OGL). The qualtrics form will be provided by OGL via email to applicable students.

Student will need to fill in the qualtrics form with individual sections rather than submitting a full PDF. The qualtrics form has 5 parts including a section to upload photos.

As this is about your experience overseas, please note that each report is an individual effort. Any students found copying other reports will be penalized. For exchange report related enquiries, please contact Office of Global Learning at study.abroad@ust.hk.
