Challenges and Limitations
• Hostel provision for in-coming students
• Incentives for local students to participate as out-going students in the exchange programmes
• Costly subsidy to overseas students limits expansion of the programme
• Government support is needed in terms of provision of student quota and the related cost subsidy

The HKBU Internationalization Policy
Conclusion
• Internationalization helps to equip our graduates with the vision and experience to function well in a multi-cultural world.
• To achieve a genuine multi-cultural campus, we reach out to non-English speaking countries, such as countries in Europe (East Europe), Mexico, other parts of Asia, and even Central Asia
• HKBU has included internationalization as one of the seven strategic development goals in our new strategic plan.
