Be CREATIVE
Committed to exploring the
transformational power of arts and
culture on society, HKBU offers a
number of programmes across
creative domains including
Creative Writing, Film, Game Design
& Animation, Music, Screen Studies,
TV and Visual Arts enriched by a
network of 50 interest clubs devoted
to ignite the creativity of students.

                   Paulina Alonso (Mexico) Visual Arts | Year 2

                   Our teachers always encourage us to share our own ideas and thoughts. They
                   guide us through the creative process and help us find ways to bring to life the
                   visions in our heads. Studying Visual Arts so far from home is a great experience
                   itself. Here I’m surrounded by a stimulating environment that inspires me to
                   create new artworks. Artists need to have different experiences in order to tell a
                   story through their artwork. This opportunity to live in Hong Kong for sure helps
                   me achieve that.

Be INNOVATIVE
                                                                  Dedicated to helping students think

                   Amos Seng (Singapore) Pharmacy in Chinese Medicine | Year 2

                   Last summer, I worked as a student intern in my Professor's research laboratory,
                   where I was able to apply theories and knowledge that I have learnt in classroom to
                   the discovery and testing of new medicinal compounds. The real-life applications
                   and research experiences allow me to develop critical and analytical thinking skills.
                   I am proud to receive training for being a pharmaceutical professional through
                   HKBU's unique East-meets-West approach, where traditional Chinese Medicine is
                   combined with modern research and development techniques.

Be GLOBAL
Seeking to nurture global citizens who
transcend cultures, HKBU encourages
students to personally experience the
reality of globalisation by joining our
overseas internships, exchange
programmes or service-learning
opportunities. Our series of
international conferences, worldwide
competitions and national
performances also give students the
opportunity to engage with peers
from around the world.

                   Rustam Juraev (Tajikistan) Applied Economics | Year 4

                   I was given the opportunity to participate in one of the biggest Model
                   United Nations Conferences in Madrid, Spain, with more than 2000
                   participants from over 110 countries, as a representative of HKBU. It was a
                   valuable experience participating in debates and negotiations with fellow
                   students from around the globe, especially as a “delegate” representing
                   the interests of a particular region in a simulated setting. Furthermore, it was
                   a perfect chance for me to make friends from different parts of the world.

Be CARING
                                                                   Beyond big dreams and innovative

                                                                   Our service-learning opportunities

                                                                   of the world and witness the

                                                                   their caring can have on people

                   Yerkegali Zhamalbekov (Kazakhstan) Computer Science | Year 3

                   HKBU offers numerous opportunities for students to exhibit caring and concern to
                   people in need. I had a chance to educate children at a local elementary
                   school in Ubud during a service trip in Bali arranged by the Undergraduate Halls.
                   I immersed myself into the local culture and customs, engaged in activities with
                   children as a caring teacher, and took part in some renovation work in a local
                   village as a volunteer. This experience helps me understand the meaning of life
                   and the importance of mutual support and respect among people.
