Studying in Hong Kong

The language of instruction in Hong Kong is English. The universities there are among the best in Asia and are therefore characterized by high quality teaching and study conditions.

Cost of living

Hong Kong is one of the most expensive cities in the world. Housing costs are particularly high, especially if you do not get a place in a student dormitory (dormitory places are not guaranteed).

The DAAD has compiled more detailed information on the cost of living in Hong Kong under Studying and living in Hong Kong - DAAD.
