About Lingnan University Hong Kong

Basic information and contact details for Lingnan University Hong Kong

institution

Lingnan University, a distinguished institution in Hong Kong’s academic landscape, traces its roots back to its founding in Guangzhou in 1888. With a rich heritage that spans over 130 years, Lingnan has evolved into a leading liberal arts university, blending tradition with modernity. After its re-establishment in Hong Kong in 1967, the university has steadily built a reputation for a World-class University comprehensive in arts and sciences, driven by impactful research and technological innovation.

Guided by the motto, “Education for Service,” Lingnan University emphasizes cultivating well-rounded individuals equipped to serve society effectively. This commitment forms the foundation of its modern mission: to prepare students for the challenges of the digital age while fostering critical thinking, creativity, and social responsibility.

 

A Transformative Vision for Education
In an era dominated by rapid technological advancements, Lingnan University is redefining liberal arts education to meet the demands of the digital age. Central to its vision is a holistic approach that goes beyond imparting technical knowledge to focus on nurturing adaptable, innovative, and socially conscious graduates.

Recognizing artificial intelligence (AI) as a transformative force, Lingnan has prioritized the integration of AI and digital tools into its academic framework. These efforts aim to equip students with the skills needed to navigate a fast-evolving job market shaped by AI and emerging technologies.

 

Innovations in Education
Lingnan University’s strategic initiatives underscore its commitment to innovation and interdisciplinary learning. Notable milestones include:

  • Generative AI Integration: Lingnan has introduced a compulsory first-year course on generative AI, equipping students with technical knowledge, critical thinking skills, and ethical considerations necessary for AI-driven industries.
  • Free Access to AI Tools: To empower its community, the university provides free, campus-wide access to cutting-edge generative AI tools like ChatGPT and DeepSeek. These tools support enhanced productivity, creativity, and analytical thinking.

Lingnan University’s efforts have not gone unnoticed. In the 2025 Times Higher Education (THE) Impact Rankings, it was ranked first globally for quality education, reflecting its dedication to equitable access and future-proofing student success.

 

Research Excellence and Emerging Fields
Lingnan University continues to enhance its research capabilities, advancing both traditional disciplines and emerging fields. While maintaining a strong foundation in arts, humanities, business, and social sciences, the university has expanded its focus to address critical global challenges. These efforts include pioneering research in data science and artificial intelligence, as well as initiatives aimed at achieving carbon neutrality and promoting environmental sustainability.

A significant milestone in Lingnan’s research journey is the establishment of the Lingnan University Institute for Advanced Study (LUIAS). This institute represents a bold step toward fostering interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research. LUIAS serves as a hub for global collaboration, bringing together leading scholars and institutions to address complex societal issues.

Through the integration of advanced technology, the institute enhances creativity and critical thinking, bridging the gap between scientific innovation and liberal arts. This approach not only strengthens Lingnan’s academic reputation but also reinforces its commitment to creating meaningful, real-world impact through research and innovation.

 

Global Talent Recruitment and Faculty Growth
To support its growing academic ambitions, Lingnan University has launched the “Lingnan-60 Global Talent Recruitment” initiative, with a goal to recruit 60 world-class faculty members. This effort has already brought exceptional talent to the university, prioritizing individuals with innovative approaches to integrating digital tools, even in traditional disciplines.

The university’s commitment to fostering academic excellence extends to the creation of new departments dedicated to AI and sustainability, ensuring its graduates are equipped for the challenges of a rapidly evolving global landscape.

 

Commitment to Community Service and Outreach

Lingnan University is deeply committed to community engagement and service, reflecting its motto, “Education for Service.” Its initiatives are designed to extend beyond traditional academic boundaries, supporting diverse groups across society and fostering meaningful connections.

The university’s gerontology centre has been serving the elderly for nearly two decades, offering vital services and promoting intergenerational harmony. The Gerontechnology Practitioner Training Course, launched in 2019, equips participants with the knowledge to use technology for improving healthcare, daily living conditions, and quality of life for the elderly.

Additionally, Lingnan provides free online courses, such as a bilingual course on ethics and global catastrophic risks, to ensure that its academic resources benefit a broader audience. These programs demonstrate the university’s dedication to addressing societal challenges through education and outreach.

By prioritizing community service and outreach, Lingnan University remains committed to its mission of fostering social responsibility and creating a positive impact on society.

 

Digital Transformation and Campus Expansion
Lingnan University’s commitment to integrating technology into education is matched by its plans for campus expansion. With an increasing student population, the university is deepening digital integration across all disciplines to prepare students for the demands of the future workforce.

At the same time, Lingnan remains rooted in its liberal arts tradition, emphasizing human values and a holistic approach to education. This balance between tradition and innovation ensures the university remains adaptable to evolving technological and workplace norms while staying true to its core principles.
