The University's mission is to provide high quality education of an applied nature while meeting the changing requirements of the world. PolyU prepares students for the challenges they will meet in their future careers.

PolyU offers a wide range of academic programs, many of which are amongst the best in Asia and the world. In fact, PolyU was ranked 30th among Asian Universities by Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) in 2011 and boast a top 200 ranking worldwide. English is the formal medium of instruction and assessment for all classes, but students will also appreciate the bilingual nature of the campus and gain knowledge and understanding of the culture, society, and people of mainland China.
