Student review [#89393] for Environmental Sciences and Management
at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University - PolyU

1. Academic quality and professional advantage
• Internationalized curriculum design: PolyU’s engineering, design, hotel management, business and other majors are ranked among the top in the world, with courses focusing on the combination of theory and practice, and many majors have obtained international certifications (such as AACSB and EQUIS).
Research opportunities: The school has rich scientific research resources, especially in the fields of science and engineering and interdisciplinary fields (such as biomedicine and artificial intelligence), with strong laboratory support and school-enterprise cooperation projects.
• Teaching style: Some students think that the course is fast-paced and the workload is heavy, but the professors are mostly industry experts who can provide cutting-edge knowledge;There are also feedbacks that some courses are biased towards traditional teaching, and the innovation varies from major to major.
2. Campus Facilities and Resources
• Advanced infrastructure: excellent libraries, laboratories, innovation buildings (such as the Jockey Club Innovation Building) and sports facilities, as well as the highly acclaimed studios of the School of Design and the equipment of the School of Engineering.
• Convenient location: Located in the heart of Hung Hom, the campus is conveniently accessible, but the relatively small size of the campus may make it appear crowded.
3. Internationalization and Multiculturalism
• Diverse student population: Local and mainland students account for a relatively high proportion, while the proportion of international students is slightly lower than that of the University of Hong Kong and the Chinese University of Hong Kong. However, the school actively promotes exchange programs (such as cooperation with more than 100 universities around the world).
• Language environment: The teaching is mainly in English, but Cantonese is frequently used in daily communication, and non-Cantonese students may need time to adapt.
