Founded in 1956 as the Hong Kong Baptist College, we started receiving Government funding in 1983 and achieved University status in 1994.
One of the eight publicly-funded universities in Hong Kong. HKBU ranks as one of the smaller institutions, and is certainly the smallest comprehensive university in the city.
About 11,000 students spread across seven Faculties and Schools.
We have around 800 full-time faculty, of which about half are expected to engage in research as part of their duties.
