Hundreds of Hong Kong secondary school students got a glimpse of university life in a summer camp held at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) recently.
The three-day live-in programme, hosted by the School of Business and Management, attracted more than 200 Form Six students from 37 secondary schools.
Tours of campus facilities, informal meetings with faculty staff and graduates, and fun activities made up the agenda.
Rovena Kwan, associate director of undergraduate programmes, said the camp was designed to give secondary students a better understanding of courses they might pursue at university level.
'We hope to put the students in the programme, get them exploring the campus facilities and have them talking with the faculty,' she said.
Some faculty members and students took part in the programme and explained various subjects to the participants.
'Students also demonstrated their presentation skills in a case-study competition on the last day of the programme,' Ms Kwan said.
