On 28 August 2026, the LSGS Orientation Day was held successfully at PolyU, offering a warm and inspiring welcome to the incoming cohort of undergraduate and master's degree freshmen.
The afternoon commenced with an opening address by Prof. Wu CHEN, Head of Department of Land Surveying and Geospatial Science (LSGS), who introduced the department’s vision and highlighted the expanding frontiers of geospatial technology. The new students were encouraged to actively engage with the diverse academic resources and professional development paths offered by LSGS.
To help freshmen navigate their academic journeys, specialized briefing sessions were led by the respective Programme Leaders.
