Language Requirements

Hong Kong has two official languages. These are Chinese and English. They have one recognised regional language; Cantonese. Their official scripts are Traditional Chinese and the English alphabet.

It is extremely common for higher education institutions to offer courses in English and Chinese. If you choose to study in a non-native language, you may have to provide evidence of your language proficiency. If you do not meet the required standards, you may be able to take a language course to help you improve.

Even if you are able to study in English, you should still make an effort to learn as much Chinese as possible. The Chinese language is widely spoken around the world, and is a heavily used business language. Being able to speak Chinese will not only be useful for your everyday life, it is a skill that looks great on your CV/resume!
