Mainland and External Affairs Office (MEAO) is dedicated to providing assistance and support to international/non-local students who may register as a regular student pursuing an award at degree or above level offered by CityU or as an exchange student for one semester up to an academic year. Our services for international/non-local students include:

- Providing pastoral care and giving advice on non-academic matters

If you are a prospective postgraduate student, please visit the website of the Chow Yei Ching School of Graduate Studies for more information.
We also promote internationalization of campus life and cross-cultural communication through different programmes, such as the CityU Buddy Scheme which aims to help international/non-local students adjust better to their university life in Hong Kong.
In addition, MEAO promotes and administers the Student Exchange Programme that broadens students' international horizon and enriches their university education with cross-cultural exchange experience. To help students get the most out of exchange, services and support ranging from pre-departure briefing and orientation sessions, on-going advice on non-academic matters to post-exchange networking will be provided to outbound exchange students before, during and after their exchange studies.
Feel free to contact us at MEAO and find out how you can make your university experience a fruitful and colourful one!
