Having established herself as an international city over the past few decades, Hong Kong is a place where east meets west. English is still an official language for the government, universities, and most of the corporations. In Hong Kong, most citizens can communicate well in English, as well as Mandarin. Bilingual signs can be seen in most places. Our student services team will provide Cantonese courses for you, in order to give you a basic understanding of Cantonese for daily use.
Full-time postgraduate students are eligible to apply for accommodation at a monthly rental charge for a single room in a number of designated halls.
