What is READ@PolyU? This campus-wide programme brings together all first-year, full-time PolyU undergraduate students around a common reading experience, through individual reading, small group chats, organized talks, and a film screening.

Now in its eighth year, READ@PolyU helps foster a reading culture at the University and sense of community among PolyU freshmen as they adapt to their new environment.
