Lingnan is Hong Kong's liberal arts university, whose small size, top international faculty and strong emphasis on close staff/student relations offer a unique environment for the pursuit of advanced studies in this exciting part of the world, in the areas covered by the university which are the range of disciplines in the Arts, Business and Social Sciences.

At Lingnan, students establish peer-type working relationships with world-class scholars who offer expert and close-contact supervision in their respective areas. Our compact working environment where research students relate as peers with world-class scholars have made Lingnan one of the two most successful universities in Hong Kong in terms of HKPFS awards for its applicants. One exciting area at Lingnan that offers a wonderful academic environment for MPhil and doctoral studies in Hong Kong is Marketing and International Business.
