Wholeperson education in a dynamic and caring environment Hong Kong Baptist University is a publicly funded research-intensive liberal arts university in Hong Kong delivering our distinctive education that prepares young people with the innovative impulse and creative thinking that the 21st century demands. We balance academic excellence with the development of the whole person. Founded in 1956 and became a publicly funded university in 1994, the University’s main campuses are located at the heart of Hong Kong and we also have an extra-territorial campus in Zhuhai in Guangdong Province - the United International College - which is jointly established with Beijing Normal University. It is the first full-scale cooperation in higher education between Mainland China and Hong Kong. International recognition The university's programmes have won international recognition. The School of Business gained accreditation from The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) and the Associations of MBAs (AMBA), as well as European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS) accreditation from the European Foundation for Management Development. The School of Communication was named one of the best journalism and media schools for Asian students by the website Asian Correspondent. Vibrant campus Situated in the heart of the city, the university stretches across five campuses that offer an inspiring teaching, research and learning environment. The university has state-of-the-art facilities, well-equipped laboratories and research infrastructure, and learning commons that offer students a dynamic study environment. HKBU’s world-class libraries include the seven-floor main library, the Dr Stephen Riady Chinese Medicine Library and the European Documentation Centre. The university also provides well-rounded sports facilities that encompass two multipurpose gymnasiums; a swimming pool; a full-size outdoor athletics stadium and soccer pitch, tennis and squash courts; and two multipurpose sports halls for ball and racquet games. HKBU has created an internationalised campus environment. Its academic staff members come from over 20 countries and regions, and pioneering programmes such as the Pulitzer Prize Winners Workshop, the International Writers Workshop, the Consul-General-in-Residence Programme and the European Union Academic Programme, bring distinguished experts from around the world to the university, adding to the globalised campus experience. HKBU is committed to building a sustainable low-carbon campus and fostering an environmentally conscious culture within the university community. Extensive array of programmes available HKBU has enrolled over 10,000 students and offers a wide range of undergraduate programmes, taught postgraduate programmes, and research programmes leading to the award of MPhil and PhD degrees. The university has 10 faculties/schools/academies: Window into China Studying in Hong Kong offers a unique window into China and a gateway to other Asian countries, giving students the opportunity to learn first-hand about the many changes and challenges facing China and Asia as a whole. HKBU has established strong partnerships with institutions in Mainland China and runs a number of collaborative projects. Medium of instruction English is the medium of instruction for formal classroom teaching, except for those courses that are granted exemption Accommodation Year 1 undergraduate international students will be provided accommodation in the Undergraduate Halls for nine months. Depending on occupancy, postgraduate students will either be housed in on-campus or off-campus accommodation. Fees and scholarships Tuition fees are relatively inexpensive by international standards. The cost of studying at the university as an international (non-local) undergraduate student is approximately HK$170,000 (approximately US$21,800) per year for government-funded programmes, including tuition fees, accommodation and basic expenses. Full scholarships are available for academically outstanding international undergraduate students. Research with impact While research at HKBU spans a broad range of areas, the university’s 10-year Strategic Plan 2018-2028 encourages interdisciplinary research and cluster-based research in three focus areas: Learn more at HKBU research hub.
