Lingnan University is the only liberal arts university in the territory, offering undergraduate, research and taught postgraduate programmes to over 2,400 students.

With a motto of “Education for Service”, the University is a pioneer in offering service-learning to its students as part of the curriculum and committed to provide students with international exposure and whole-person development particularly through bilateral cultural exchange.

True to its identity as a liberal arts institution, Lingnan is characterised by a small student body and a close faculty-student relationship. With a residential campus that accommodates the great majority of students, Lingnan has the highest residential rate among all higher institutions in Hong Kong with guaranteed on-campus residence for all non-local students throughout their studies.

Vision

Mission
Lingnan University is committed to the provision of quality education distinguished by the best liberal arts traditions. It adopts a whole-person approach to education which enables its students to think, judge, care and, ultimately, act responsibly in the changing circumstances of Hong Kong, the region and the world.
