On 29 August 2025, LSGI Orientation Day was held successfully at PolyU for all undergraduate and master's programme freshmen, marking an enthusiastic start to the new academic year.
Prof. Wu Chen, Chair Professor of Satellite Navigation and Head of LSGI, warmly welcomed the new students and provided an insightful introduction to the department. He encouraged freshmen to delve into the diverse programmes and student development opportunities available at LSGI.
To provide clarity on their academic paths, the orientation included detailed programme introductions by the respective programme leaders: Prof. Xiao-lin Zhu for the BSc (Hons) in Land Surveying and Geo-Informatics, Prof. Xin-tao Liu for the MSc in Geomatics, and Prof. Qing Pei for the MSc in Urban Informatics and Smart Cities.
By fostering connections with faculty and peers, we believe this event equipped students with the insights and motivation needed to thrive in their studies and contribute positively to both the department and the broader community.
We hope that all students found the orientation informative and helpful, setting the stage for a rewarding and enjoyable university life at PolyU.
