FCE participates in PolyU Counsellor Fly-in Programme 2026 to strengthen global student recruitment

To attract top students worldwide, FCE participated in the Counsellor Fly-in Programme 2026 organised by PolyU's Global Engagement Office (GEO), which brought together 25 counsellors from 23 schools across 14 countries and regions to learn more about the University's academic offerings.

On 6 March 2026, FCE joined the panel discussion and mini fair held at Hotel ICON. During the panel discussion, Prof. Charles WONG, Associate Dean (Teaching and Global Engagement) of Faculty, addressed questions from counsellors regarding admission standards, learning experiences, professional accreditation, and career opportunities across various FCE programmes. At the mini fair, FCE representatives introduced the Faculty’s academic programmes and exchanged views with participating counsellors.

The initiative reflects FCE’s ongoing commitment to building strong international connections and enhancing global student recruitment.
