Education at HKBU
Founded in 1956, the University is Hong Kong's second-oldest higher-learning institution. It has an established place in Hong Kong's tertiary education sector, emphasising academic excellence and a Whole Person Education with a Christian ethos. Pioneering and broad-based interactive programmes, academic excellence that embodies a careful balance between teaching and research, an international perspective and a commitment to quality assurance have become hallmarks of the University. |

| At HKBU, we value each and every student. We provide students with the learning environment to grow and explore their unique potential. Valuing and respecting the uniqueness and creativity of individuals is at the heart of our learning and teaching philosophy. |
|
| Creativity rests in our diverse programmes and co- and extra-curricular activities. Our International Writers Workshop and Pulitzer Prize Winners Workshop give students direct contact with world-renowned authors and journalists. Visiting scholars and industry practitioners offer students opportunities to broaden their creative thinking by learning from successful people across industries. Poetry recitals, art exhibitions and a host of other events help to promote creativity. |
|
| The Report of a Quality Audit of HKBU found that HKBU has achieved its goal of providing undergraduate students with a liberal, holistic education through the concept of Whole Person Education. Released in 2009 by the Quality Assurance Council of the University Grants Committee, the report also confirmed that Whole Person Education at HKBU is delivered in a caring and supportive environment, and is clearly appreciated by students. |

Campus Areas
The University has four campuses: the Ho Sin Hang Campus, the Shaw Campus, the Baptist University Road Campus and the Kai Tak Campus. Together they provide an attractive, student-focused urban university environment that helps to nurture body, mind, and spirit. |
|
| Located in the heart of Kowloon, these campuses are only a few minutes' walk from MTR stations, and are well serviced by public transport from virtually every area of Hong Kong. |
|
| With the theme of "Inspiring Creativity for Whole Person Education", the Campus Expansion Plan (CEP) 2007-2014 will add a net floor area of nearly 27,000m2 for teaching, administration and amenity use — a nearly 50% increase in the current campus size. (The existing area for University Grants Committee-funded activities is about 56,600m2, excluding the Kai Tak Campus and the space under the School of Continuing Education.) |
