Hong Kong Higher Education

> Home > Studying in Hong Kong > Why Hong Kong ?

Hong Kong is the place to be.

There are more than a billion Chinese in the world. Start getting acquainted with some of them in Hong Kong, home to six million people with a unique global perspective. We know China (most of us have that background), and we're well-traveled, multi-lingual, and modern.

Don't worry, we speak English. It's one of our official languages, in fact, and the lingua franca for our vibrant international community. If you're the adventurous type, pick a dialect - you can learn Cantonese to chat with the locals in their mother tongue, or pick up Mandarin and get a foot across the border in the People's Republic.

The qualifications that you'll receive from Hong Kong's educational institutions are internationally recognized, meaning you can use your Bachelor of Science in Biology from Brussels to Bangkok.

... but we will anyway. Our institutions are among the best in the world - and The Times of London agrees! Hong Kong was well represented in the 2007 World University Rankings, higher (and better value!) than most of our counterparts in North America and Europe. It's no wonder that Hong Kong is a regional hub for academic endeavors. Come study, research, and share with us!
