The Location

Hong Kong Polytechnic University is located in one of the world's busiest and most culturally diverse cities. Hong Kong was occupied by the British from 1841 until 1997, when sovereign power over Hong Kong reverted back to China.

Today, Hong Kong is a vibrant cultural and economic center. Although it has suffered fallout from Asia's economic crises in the late 1990s, and has experienced rising unemployment and falling property prices, there is hope of economic recovery.

Hong Kong is divided into four main areas - Kowloon, Hong Kong Island, the New Territories, and the Outlying Islands. Hong Kong Polytechnic University is located in Kowloon, which is a peninsula of the Chinese mainland, on the northern side of Victoria Harbor.

The University

Formerly known as the Hong Kong Polytechnic, the Institution assumed full university status in 1994. PolyU enrolls approximately 22,000 full-time and part-time students, and offers a wide range of courses which directly meet industrial, commercial and community needs. It is a prime aim of the University to equip students not only with professional competency but also the ability of independent thinking, good communication skills and a global outlook.

The Fall semester runs from early September until mid-January, and the Spring semester runs from mid-January until mid-June.

Accommodations

Students at Hong Kong Polytechnic University live in double rooms in a student residence hall. Each room has the following amenities: internet access, a window air-conditioner, Internet Protocol telephone, mini-fridge, bookcase, writing desk, wardrobe, bed with mattress (remember to bring your own bed linen and pillow), and a common toilet/shower room shared between two adjoining rooms.
