Why Hong Kong?

Located at the heart of Asia, Hong Kong is a melting pot of Eastern and Western cultures with diverse lifestyles. Hong Kong aspires to be a regional education hub, and is home to some of the world’s top universities including those ranked 2nd and 10th in Asia in 2024. As an international city where both English and Chinese are official languages, English is used as a teaching medium in most university courses.
