One of the most important feature for Hong Kong universities lies in its high standard of globalization. To be international, Hong Kong universities emphasize diversity, intercultural learning and global vision. Taking CityU as an example, our faculty members are recruited from all over the world, including Hong Kong, North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. We have established an excellent international network for academic collaborations. In Hong Kong, our graduates become leading professionals who are open to new ideas, adaptable, and thoughtful contributors to society.

Living and studying in Hong Kong could prepare mainland students with a global vision. Most mainland students come to Hong Kong, thinking that Hong Kong shares the same culture with mainland. However, due to the regional and historical difference, they gradually learn that there are cultural differences between Hong Kong and mainland. It is also a learning journey to overcome such perceptions, and to embrace the difficulties. Such understanding is should be mutual, as mainland students also act as the role of ambassadors for their Hong Kong peers to learn more about mainland.
