It is a requirement applicants have to meet some English level requirement before being admitted to an university in HK.

Most local people(students) communicate among themselves in Cantonese. English is understood within university, documents and teaching mainly in English, but note that students have different levels of English. Some students have learning difficulty because they are not used to English learning enviroment as they studied in Chinese schools before.
