A more rigorous version based on last year’s pilot programme, students will learn from leading professors from Zhejiang University and NUS in their areas of expertise, as well as alongside CKC and USP students. Aside from the regular classes, there will be 3-4 evening sessions set aside for discussions, and cultural and historical virtual tour of places in Hangzhou, China and Singapore.
