The School of Graduate Studies (GS) successfully hosted an Orientation Programme on 24 August 2019 for incoming research postgraduate students and TPg students of the School of the academic year 2019-20. It is Lingnan’s liberal arts spirit to build strong teacher-student relations, and the Orientation Programme was a perfect start to enhance two-way communication. In the academic year 2019-20, the University welcomes around 740 master’s students and over 50 MPhil /PhD and Doctor of Policy Studies students not only from Hong Kong but also from other regions around the world, including mainland China, Taiwan, Macau, Ghana, India, Latvia, Pakistan, the Philippines, Singapore, Uganda, the USA, and Zambia. This new cohort of truly international incoming students will spend a fruitful and challenging academic year ahead.
