Lingnan University (Lingnan) is located in Tuen Mun, New Territories, Hong Kong. It intertwines research with teaching.[7]

Lingnan University has 3 faculties, 3 Schools, 16 departments, 2 language centres, and 2 units (science and music),[8] offering 29 degree honours programmes[9] spanning various disciplines in humanities, business, and social sciences. Lingnan's small class size facilitates interaction. Lingnan also provides a diverse array of taught masters, research master’s and PhD programmes. Total students comprise more than 6,200 students.[10]

Lingnan University has over 270 partners across more than 50 countries/regions facilitating international exchanges or participation in short-term summer or winter programmes for over 80% of undergraduates.[11] Currently, Lingnan University has dual-degree programmes with the Hong Kong Metropolitan University, National Chengchi University (Taiwan), Shenzhen University and Wuhan University in some of the master's and doctoral research areas.

Research[edit]

Lingnan's research in humanities, social sciences and business were classified as "World Leading" (4-star) and "Internationally Excellent" (3-star) in the Research Assessment Exercise 2020, conducted by the University Grants Committee using international benchmarks to identity the areas of relative strengths of the city's public universities. Lingnan came first or second among all public universities in terms of the percentage of "World Leading" research work in Accountancy, Sociology & Anthropology, Social Work & Social Policy, and Philosophy.[12]

Controversies[edit]

Student and alumni petition for dismissing Junius Ho from the University Council[edit]

In July 2019, a video that was circulated widely online showed Junius Ho shaking hands, giving thumbs-up to, and taking photos with the white-clad mob who had attacked civilians in the 2019 Yuen Long attack. Ho claimed that he was only passing by after dinner and was not involved in the attack, and that the mob supported his pro-police stances and asked for photos with him.[13][14] As Ho was a member of the Council of Lingnan University, a number of student bodies and alumni associations made a joint declaration condemning his hate speech over the years and his support for the attackers, saying that it seriously affected the image of the university. They also requested Chief Executive Carrie Lam, then-Chancellor of the university, to dismiss Ho from the Council. Afterwards, the university issued a statement emphasising its respect for freedom of speech and that Ho's views did not represent the university.[15][16]

Removal of Tiananmen relief sculpture[edit]

On the night of 24 December 2021, the university removed from campus a relief sculpture created by artist Chen Weiming and commemorating the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre. The university said that it had "reviewed and assessed items on campus that may pose legal and safety risks to the University community" and had the relief "removed and stored appropriately... in the best interest of the University". Around the same time, the University of Hong Kong and The Chinese University of Hong Kong also removed similar Tiananmen memorial monuments from their campuses. Chen said that "it is a major regret", and that the university authorities "acted like a thief in the night" and "were very scared that the removal of the monuments would spark public outcry".[17][18][19]

Office of Service-Learning[edit]

In 2006, Lingnan University became the first local university to establish an Office of Service-Learning.[20][21]

From 2007 to 2013, the Office of Service-Learning and Lingnan University jointly organised the biennial 1st to 4th Asia-Pacific Regional Conference on Service-Learning.[22][23][24][25][26]
