Hong Kong is actively seeking to attract international students affected by the recent U.S. visa crackdown that revoked Harvard University's ability to enroll foreign students. This decision impacts nearly 6,800 international students and has prompted Hong Kong's Education Bureau to encourage local universities to facilitate admissions for these displaced students. Institutions like the University of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology are offering unconditional offers and streamlined admissions processes. Meanwhile, Ireland is launching a similar initiative to attract researchers unsettled by U.S. visa restrictions, highlighting both regions' efforts to position themselves as viable alternatives for global talent amid changing educational policies.
