International Field Trip

The International Field Trip (IFP) provides students with a high-level survey of the economic, cultural and geopolitical underpinnings in regions integral to the global economy. The IFP’s pedagogic method primarily takes place through visits to companies, university campuses and government institutions.

By attending lectures, meeting with local business leaders, government officials and HKU alumni living abroad, students can network with local professionals while also building relationships with students in their batch. Past destinations include the US, the United Kingdom, France and Germany.

A recent IFP to Belgium included a visit to the Council of the European Union in Brussels, the University of Brussels for presentations on aspects of business in Belgium, and visits to businesses and major banks in the country. In the United Kingdom students visited London for presentations at financial institutions, insurance and financial groups and government organisations, as well as the University of Cambridge’s Innovation Centre and the Cambridge Chamber of Commerce.
