The Immigration Arrangements for Non-local Graduates (IANG) is one of the most liberal post-study visas in Asia. It allows graduates to stay and work for 12-24 months without needing employer sponsorship. You can work in ANY job - no restrictions on field or employer.
After 7 years of continuous residence (including student time), you can apply for permanent residence. This grants you the right to abode, no work restrictions, and access to most benefits.
Yes, Hong Kong is one of the world's most expensive cities, mainly due to housing. Students typically live in on-campus accommodation (cheaper) or shared apartments. Budget HKD 10,000-20,000/month for living expenses depending on lifestyle and location.
Hong Kong excels in: Finance & Banking (global financial center), Legal services, Trade & Logistics, Professional services, Fintech, and increasingly Tech startups. It serves as the gateway to Mainland China business.
Hong Kong is officially bilingual (English and Chinese). English is widely used in business, education, and government. While Cantonese is the main spoken language, English proficiency is high, especially in professional settings. Many programs are fully in English.
