Hong Kong Shue Yan University is a private higher education institution located in North Point, Hong Kong. It traces its origins to 1971, when Dr. Henry H.L. Hu and Dr. Chung Chi Yung founded Shue Yan to address the shortage of tertiary places for local secondary school leavers seeking university education. In 2006, Shue Yan College was renamed and became the first private university in Hong Kong, reflecting its expansion from a college to a degree-granting institution. Its motto emphasizes benevolence, broadening horizons, and knowledge, guiding its aim to produce well-rounded, principled graduates. The university operates as a mid-sized institution within Hong Kong's higher education landscape, balancing teaching with practical engagement through activities such as internships coordinated by its Industrial Attachment Office. Recent initiatives include hosting the International Conference on Human Resilience in 2026 and advancing digital teaching and learning, alongside the publication of the second edition of Psychology in Asia.
