     The Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office, Berlin (HKETO Berlin) hosted a booth at the German education fair Einstieg in Munich, Berlin, to inform over 7 000 participants from Germany about the exciting study opportunities that Hong Kong has to offer. The fair was held under the patronage of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research of Germany and the Bavarian State Ministry for Education on November 24 and 25 (Munich time). The Acting Director of HKETO Berlin, Miss Bonnie Ka, gave a presentation on November 25 about the unique and valuable Hong Kong studying and living experiences.

     In her presentation, Miss Ka introduced Hong Kong's world-leading universities, scholarship opportunities as well as other advantages of studying in Hong Kong. Her presentation also touched on further opportunities for staying and working in Hong Kong, such as the Working Holiday Scheme, the Talent List and various talent admission schemes that facilitate immigration to Hong Kong for young talent, including the Top Talent Pass Scheme.

     Hong Kong's high-quality higher education programmes are taught in English, and the city's universities adopt international standards in curriculum design as well as quality assurance. Among the 22 degree-awarding higher education institutions in Hong Kong, five are among the world's top 100 according to the Quacquarelli Symonds World University Rankings 2024 and Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2024. To attract outstanding non-local students to study in Hong Kong, the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) offers various scholarships including the HKSAR Government Scholarship Fund, the Self-financing Post-secondary Education Fund and the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme.

     For postgraduate students, there are also abundant research opportunities in Hong Kong's world-class institutions. To further support academic research in the higher education sector, the HKSAR Government has earmarked HK$9 billion in the 2023-24 Budget for universities and research institutes to enhance research in life and health technology and other frontier technology fields such as artificial intelligence and quantum technology.

     The HKSAR Government plans to admit at least 35 000 talents each year from 2023 to 2025 through the various talent admission schemes. Miss Ka took the opportunity to appeal to quality immigrants from all over the world to move to Hong Kong. More details about the diversified admission schemes are available at www.hkengage.gov.hk/en/.
