Semester Abroad in Hong Kong
Studying in Hong Kong
Study everything from neurobiology to poetry at Hong Kong Baptist University! Linfield’s partner in Hong Kong offers a wide variety of English language courses for exchange students, in addition to robust international student programming that pairs you with a local buddy and arranges outings to spots like Stanley Market, Cheung Chau and Lantau Island. English is one of the official languages of Hong Kong so there is nothing keeping you from experiencing the true HKBU student experience – get engaged with activities from mountaineering to drama!
“When a few of my friends from Linfield said it would change the way I looked at life, I didn’t believe them. I have become a different person in a good way by being in this type of environment with Hong Kong locals and exchange students. I am so glad I picked Hong Kong. It has been such a great experience and one I will always remember. Every student who goes to Linfield needs to study abroad. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity that will change the way life is lived. I have come out a better person with real-world knowledge just by living in a country completely different than my own. Having a wide range of knowledge about other parts of the world can only benefit one’s life.”
—Daniel Hellinger
