The Lingnan College, which is also a degree-awarding institution, requires their students with low grades in Chinese and English language subjects to attend compulsory courses.

In addition, all degree-awarding institutions have independent language learning centres where students can improve their language skills on a self-initiated and self-paced learning basis.

All publicly-funded universities have in place mechanisms to monitor their students' proficiency in Chinese and English on an on-going basis during their courses. Students' proficiency is assessed in a variety of ways including assignments, tests, projects, oral presentations and examinations. Details are set out in Annex B.
