As a signature event of the College of Science, the fourth Science Summer Camp was successfully delivered online on 19 and 20 July 2022. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic situation, the virtual event attracted more than 100 enthusiastic participants from Mainland China, Germany, India, Malaysia, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, United Kingdom, Vietnam, and Hong Kong to join us while staying at home safely.
The Science Summer Camp is designed to offer outstanding prospective PhD candidates to experience the student life at CityU and to get a taste of our excellent research education in science. During the camp, more than 20 departmental research seminars and information talks have been arranged for participants to explore research degree opportunities at the Departments of Biostatistics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics. Participants were also given a chance to be interviewed by their prospective supervisors for future admission.
Professor Chun-Sing Lee, Dean of the College of Science, warmly welcomed the participants at the opening session. Professor Robert Li, Associate Dean of Chow Yei Ching School of Graduate Studies, and Professor Ruiqin Zhang, Associate Dean (Research and Postgraduate Education) of the College, shared with participants the exciting opportunities and support that CityU offers to our PhD students and what makes CityU an ideal destination for students with an aspiration to embark on their PhD studies.
The next Science Summer Camp will be open for applications in early 2023 and we look forward to welcoming participants on CityU campus. Interested students are encouraged to stay tuned with us for more information.
