They have strong partnerships with two world-renowned business schools, London Business School and Columbia Business School, providing their students with unparalleled academic and networking opportunities. Students benefit from the international experience and state-of-the-art knowledge of three of the world’s major business centres: Hong Kong, London and New York. Their partnership with Fudan University in Shanghai further increases learning by giving students an in-depth understanding of doing business in the world’s biggest marketplace.

The university located right in the heart of the city created by entrepreneurs rests on a global pre-eminence in business foundations. This is an immediate and immense advantage to their students. Hong Kong, not only being the capital of business, but also the financial hub, is the most open and thriving business environment in Asia and one of the freest in trade and money in the world, with a low and simple tax regime. Its massive competitiveness intricated into its very soul, with its breathtaking infrastructure that beats out all the cities in the world, makes it an irresistible location to explore one’s higher academic experience. An Asian nexus and forever a portal to China, Hong Kong is a draw at all levels, drawing overseas and mainland companies there in greater numbers. It is fertile ground for start-ups, both local and worldwide. Thus, it is an ideal setting for internationalism to flourish.

HKU has more than 245,000 alumni at the forefront of community life in Hong Kong, providing leadership in commerce and industry, in government, in education, and in the arts, sciences and culture.
