In QS Asia University Rankings 2026, released by international higher education organisation Quacquarelli Symonds (QS), Hong Kong Metropolitan University is ranked among Asia's top 400 universities. Its full-time programme “Bachelor of Arts with Honours in English Language and Culture” is designed to provide students with a broad understanding of the English language through a variety of courses in literary works, linguistics and multimedia texts.

The programme is approved by the Education Bureau of the HKSAR Government as a recognized language major degree programme.
A degree holder in this programme with a relevant teaching training qualification is eligible to apply for exemption from the Language Proficiency Requirement for Teachers (English Language).
