Lingnan and You… Lingnan and You…

“Why did you choose Lingnan?” is a question people ask me very frequently in Lingnan. I am delighted to say that I chose Lingnan because I believe that liberal arts education will boost my ability to become an informed citizen, a lifelong learner, and most importantly, a critical thinker. Never have I imagined in my life that I would belong to a liberal arts community with accessible professors, helpful staff, and friendly students. Apart from academic activities, talking to friends from different countries, doing service-learning, and leaving my comfort zone by joining Toastmasters are so far the most remarkable parts of my journey in Lingnan.

HAN, Paul Lu (Myanmar)Bachelor of Social Sciences

Studying in Lingnan University is a brand new experience for me. It offers various

opportunities for us to explore the world and at the same time explore ourselves.

We could never get bored with so much amazing challenges

ahead. Being able to make friends with people from different cultural

backgrounds is one of the most interesting parts in my journey here. We can always gain

more understanding towards different cultures through their sharing. The students and staff are

always willing to give their support whenever we need. All I can say is I am so lucky to be part of this big family!

The Non-local Student Scholarship came to me like a dream. I am certain that studying at Lingnan is my

wisest decision. Thanks to guidance and care from staff at Lingnan, Hong Kong has become my “second home”. I have

been learning a lot in everyday life, from how to understand and care for each other to how to contribute and

improve the community. I would like to say thank you to Lingnan for giving me such a great chance

to experience one of the best liberal art universities in Asia. I am so proud being a

Lingnanian!

Pursing my studies at Lingnan has truly been an opportunity of a life time. It offers a steady and well-rounded environment where one cannot only obtain sought-after tertiary education, but also nurture their character, discover personal strengths and work on their weaknesses. This is an opportunity I have appreciated everyday thus far and one that I will continue to treasure for eternity.

“We had young student interns from Lingnan University year after year. We found that they are energetic, motivated and have excellent skills. Service-Learning is a new form of learning and teaching that all universities are trying to incorporate. Lingnan University has been a pioneer in this area. We look forward to seeing the fruitful results of Lingnan’s Service-Learning, and hope that Lingnan will build an even stronger and more effective partnership network in the next decade.”

Dr TANDON, RajeshFounder-President of PRIAUNESCO Co-Chair on Community Based Research and Social Responsibility in Higher Education

“Lingnan graduates are always positive, committed and confident. They are eager to learn and strive for the best. They demonstrate a stable and solid progression in our profession and I believe they are very well equipped to contribute to our society.”

Mr FUNG, Shiu HangPractising DirectorMazars CPA Limited

“Asia Financial and Asia Insurance – one of Hong Kong’s leading general insurance companies – need people who can learn, think for themselves, ask the right questions and communicate well with colleagues and clients. Over the years several dozen Lingnan graduates have joined our insurance underwriting, claims and reinsurance teams and our investment department. One is now a senior vice president, and of the 20 who have joined since 2009, three have already been promoted to assistant manager. We hope to welcome more staff with the Lingnan liberal arts background in the future.”

The Hon CHAN, Bernard CharnwutPresidentAsia Financial Holdings Limited & Asia Insurance Company Limited

Apart from joining the workforce, some graduates chose to pursue further studies in Hong Kong and overseas institutions.
