In this "special" holiday, we are requested to stay at home. Less fun, but more chance to think about life and plan for the future. Since the establishment of the School of Life and Health Sciences at the end of 2018, it has gone through 2019 steadily and meaningfully, and entering 2020 with great strides. In this restless Year of the Rat, although the clouds are still overcast at this time, we shall always keep longing and looking forward to the future! In 2020, students of School of Life and Health Sciences may face dual choice of further education and employment. Do you feel confused and overwhelmed by facing so many world-renowned universities and well-known multinational companies? Please don’t be worried. LHS has prepared and set up "Further Study and Career Development Center” for our LHSer. With the participation and joint efforts of the faculty, we hope to guide and escort you to achieve success.

1、Exchange/Visiting Arrangement

CUHK-Shenzhen pays great attention to international collaborations with partner universities in order to broaden our students’ horizons, promoting and administering student exchange programs, study abroad programs, Joint Degree Arrangements and summer/winter programs. So far CUHK-Shenzhen has signed agreement with over 100 international partners to open over 160 international programs (including summer/winter programs, student exchange programs, study abroad programs, and Joint Degree Arrangements). So far over 60% of CUHK-Shenzhen students have credit-bearing overseas experience.

With the joint efforts of the Academic Links Office and LHS, CUHK-Shenzhen has established “3.5+1.5” Joint Degree Arrangement in Bioinformatics with University of Michigan and “3+2” Joint Degree Arrangement in Biomedical Engineering with The University of California, Irvine, offering our students the opportunity to pursue Master’s degree at the two prestigious universities after their undergraduate study at CUHK-Shenzhen.

Besides, LHS students can also apply for “4+1” Joint Degree Arrangement with Columbia University , “4+X” Joint Degree Arrangement with University of South Carolina, “4+X” Joint Degree Arrangement with Syracuse School of Information Studies (iSchool) , and “4+1” Joint Degree Arrangement with University of Sussex.

The study plans cover the format of 4+1, 3.5+1.5, 3+2, and 3+1+1.

The following roadmap is drafted by Dean Ye Dequan (Chair Professor, Dean). He introduced students how to reasonably make plan during their undergraduate study, while to consider participating in overseas exchange program and scientific research projects with our professors. In 2020, LHS will expand more practices and training bases.
