What are the benefits of studying abroad?
As Hong Kong continues to attract global talents and the job market tightens post-pandemic, competition within Hong Kong workplace is becoming increasingly fierce. Therefore, studying abroad, which has long been favoured by Hong Kong people, has demonstrated heightened value in recent years.
The advantages of studying abroad are numerous, including:
Improving language proficiency: Daily class sessions and interactions with locals and classmates from diverse backgrounds often result in rapid improvement in foreign language skills.
Broadening perspectives: Cross-culture experiences help deepen the understanding of diverse cultural norms, values and habits. This fosters open-mindedness, adaptability and understanding of new concepts in the future.
Expanding horizons: Overseas universities boast advanced facilities, exceptional teaching faculties and abundant academic resources. They offer everyone the opportunity to access the latest knowledge and research to broaden their academic horizons and elevate their academic standards.
Expanding networks: Interaction with classmates and friends from around the world builds international connections. This provides not only collaboration and career opportunities, but also broaden our perspectives on different countries and cultures.
Cultivating independence: Managing day-to-day life independently abroad, from accommodation to daily challenges, create individuals that are more self-sufficient and mature.
Enhance employability: The experience of studying abroad adds an international perspective and multicultural background to our resume, which is highly competitive in the era of globalisation.
