It is the first stand-alone Service-Learning office among the universities in Hong Kong, which dedicates itself to nurturing change makers by encouraging students to engage in community services with academic knowledge through the experiential-learning model.

Integrated Learning Programme (ILP) is one of the signature co-curricular programmes in the University which facilitates students to extend their learning beyond the classroom. With its wide spectrum of contents and interactive delivery modes, students are able to unlock potentials, boost confidence, make plans for life and achieve success. Students can develop their new interests and explore many learning opportunities from over 400 ILP activities each year.

Lingnan Entrepreneurship Initiative (LEI) is a collaborative Innovation and Entrepreneurship (I&E) platform newly established to empower entrepreneurs, innovators, and inventors to take action for inclusive growth.

=Innovation and Impact Fund (IIF) - Entrepreneurship Programme=

To keep contributing to society with a high level of impact, the University encourages and supports faculty members and students to generate innovative ideas, create opportunities, and master risk and failure in the process. To this end, the Entrepreneurship Programme under the University’s Innovation and Impact Fund (IIF) is designed to support faculty members and students to create a positive impact for society while developing the entrepreneurial capacity and spirit.

=Students Entrepreneurial Exploration Development (SEED) Fund=

With the generous donation from Lingnan Education Organization Limited (“Donor”) to the University, the “LEO Tse Kai Yui Memorial Fund” (嶺南教育機構謝啟睿紀念基金) offers grants for the SEED Fund Scheme. The SEED Fund provides $5,000 grants and workspace to early-stage entrepreneurial plans involving current Lingnan students. The grants are intended for use in prototype development and customer discovery activities. These awards provide critical funding for high risk, high reward projects that have great potential to change the current status quo.

Students are encouraged to use SEED fund to implement entrepreneurial or social innovation projects developed in class in a real-world situation.
