A WARMWELCOMEFROMASIA’S GLOBALUNIVERSITY

THE LEADING CHOICE

We’re immensely proud of our students, and that Hong Kong’s brightest young minds continue to choose HKU for their university education. All 12 students who achieved a perfect score in their 2015 Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) preferred to pursue their tertiary studies at HKU. We’re pleased to report that last year’s admission applications also encompassed 60% of school leavers in the top-scoring bracket, 82% of prospective medicine students, and an incredible 98% of potential law students.

EMBRACING OPPORTUNITIES

At HKU, we’re dedicated to providing an environment of inclusiveness and equal opportunities for all students. We continually strive to enhance on-campus engagement and diversity through scholarships and support programmes, as well as enriching personal development opportunities. Our First-in-the-Family Education Fund for all subjects and Springboard Scholarships are just two examples of ways in which we ensure HKU continues to be accessible to the best students, regardless of their financial situations.

WORLDS AHEAD

HKU is pleased to have been ranked 3rd for International Outlook in the 2016 World University Rankings; however, we’re committed to doing more to enhance international learning and development for our students. By 2022, we aim to provide 100% of our undergraduate students with opportunities in Mainland China and abroad, by doubling the number of joint and dual degree programmes with select overseas partner universities in varied geographical and cultural settings. To make these experiences truly meaningful, we encourage our students to go outside their comfort zones, take responsible risks, learn from challenging situations, and develop leadership

qualities as contributing global citizens, enriching their personal development and empowerment.

If you’re an aspiring student enthused by the idea of being successful on the world stage or a person of influence, I encourage you to get to know HKU and the array of invaluable opportunities we offer. If you’re a parent or a mentor of a high-achieving student, I welcome you to learn more about how we foster whole-person education and lifelong learning. The University will be here every step of the way in your exciting educational journey, offering inspiration, support and friendship. We welcome you to join the ever-growing HKU global family.

Located in one of the world’s most dynamic regions and on Mainland China’s doorstep, the geographical and cultural benefits of HKU attract top-performing students.

02 03The University of Hong Kong (HKU) is internationally renowned for its outstanding academic standards, world-class research, global connections, and valuable societal impacts. Located in one of the world’s most dynamic regions and on Mainland China’s doorstep, the geographical and cultural benefits of HKU continue to attract the top-performing students from Hong Kong and Mainland China, and across many competitive countries abroad.

Through English-medium instruction and a strong emphasis on research, we’re committed to training and nurturing future leaders equipped to tackle the challenges and embrace the opportunities of a rapidly changing world. The University’s cosmopolitan and diverse campus is a true reflection of the uniqueness and sophistication of Hong Kong. Our internationally competitive programmes across a comprehensive range of academic disciplines are continually benchmarked against leading global institutions, and saw HKU ranked 30th overall in the QS World University Rankings 2015–16.

Professor W. John KaoVice-President and Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Global)

A key international business hub in the heart of Asia, and recognised as the prime gateway to the burgeoning Mainland, it’s clear why Hong Kong is one of the most attractive places for both local and international university students. A city of contrasts that blends East and West, tradition and modernity, Hong Kong is a haven for global corporations expanding into Asia and rich with employment opportunities for graduated students. World-class infrastructure, safety and stability, cultural diversity, widely spoken English, and exceptional academic standards contribute to the endless advantages of studying in this welcoming, world city.

The new Silk Road: Bringing the world to Hong Kong

The Chinese government’s One Belt, One Road initiative – a modern adaptation of the historical Silk Road – is a development strategy aimed at promoting economic cooperation and transnational trade between Asia, Africa and Europe. Through the establishment of infrastructure and trade links reminiscent of the centuries-old Silk Road, the initiative looks likely to accelerate the region’s advancement towards becoming the most important economic zone in the world, while opening up a wide array of business possibilities for Hong Kong.

INSIDE STORIES

Endless diversity and discoveries

In Hong Kong, I’m surrounded with opportunities to meet interesting people and discover new things. I love exploring the city and feel assured in the knowledge that it’s completely safe. Even as a non-Cantonese speaker I never worry about being lost or stranded. It’s wonderful to live in a city with ultra-modern facilities while being able to escape to the countryside.

OUTSTANDING ACADEMICS

The academic standards in Hong Kong are among the highest in the world. The Hong Kong government prioritises education and ensures significant funding, keeping the costs to students and their families as low as possible. An emphasis on innovative teaching programmes, increased student engagement, and accountability to government, contributes to the city’s world-renowned higher education system.

SAFE AND SECURE

With a remarkably low crime rate, Hong Kong is rated as one of the world’s safest cities, bringing peace of mind to young students and their families. The Economist Intelligence Unit’s most recent Safe Cities Index ranked Hong Kong as one of the safest cities in the world.

CAPTIVATING CULTURE

Hong Kong is one of the world’s most multicultural cities, where traditional Chinese elements blend seamlessly with a rich colonial past. The city’s culturally diverse workforce contributes to Hong Kong’s well-earned reputation as a true international metropolis, with a large expat community. Hong Kong is also the ideal place to learn and embrace Chinese language and business practices.

LEADING BUSINESS

Hong Kong is one of the world’s leading and most dynamic financial centres, currently ranked 4th in the Global Financial Centre Index. Located a stone’s throw from Mainland China at the mouth of the Pearl River Delta, the city is the number one choice for many international companies to establish their regional headquarters.

GATEWAY TO CHINA

Hong Kong is a highly appealing trading partner and investment conduit for Mainland China. Regular flights and several new rail and road links ensure smooth and speedy travel across the border, while Hong Kong offers the benefits of a simple and low tax regime, free market policies, and free flow of information.

06 07

HKU is a world-class university renowned for its excellent academic standards, broad international outlook, and innovative research programmes. The University is proud to be the first choice for Hong Kong’s top-scoring Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) students, as well as a favoured preference for global scholars seeking a high quality international education and exposure to a flourishing, multinational campus. From dentistry and education, to arts and engineering, the University’s faculties and comprehensive subject areas are independently ranked among the best in the world.

LOCAL ADMISSIONS

HKU has a long history of attracting the top-scoring Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) students, and our local admissions for 2015 were equally outstanding. 99.7% of successful applicants selected HKU as their first (or Band A) choice. Of twelve students who received the highest possible HKDSE grade of 5**, all of them chose to study at HKU, one preferring HKU to an offer from the University of Cambridge. For local students taking international qualifications, the cut-off standard for the General Certificate of Education Advanced Level Examination (GCE A-levels) results was raised to 3As for the first time in 2015.

Learning from the best

Our professors in the medical faculty are exemplary. Most of them are at the forefront of research in medicine and surgical procedures in Asia, and even the world. It’s been a privilege to learn from these highly respected professionals. Their willingness and humility in teaching have been a constant encouragement and motivation for me to work hard in pursuit of my medical qualification. I believe Hong Kong provides me with a wide range of opportunities to pursue the specialty of my choice after graduation.

INTERNATIONAL ADMISSIONS

HKU brings together new communities of leading international students every year, with undergraduates from 33 countries admitted in 2015. The Hong Kong government is highly supportive of overseas students, facilitating visa applications, providing subsidies and scholarships, allowing students to work during their studies, and inviting graduates to remain and work in Hong Kong if they wish.

In partnership with Cambridge: Engineering excellence at HKU

The HKU-Cambridge Joint Recruitment Scheme for Engineering gives first-year Mainland Chinese engineering students the opportunity to complete their degree at the University of Cambridge. Since the programme’s launch in 2012, the top engineering student each year at Cambridge has been from HKU, and 100% of participating students have achieved first-class results, which is equivalent to the Dean’s list. The scheme’s success is partly attributed to HKU’s rigorous screening process for engineering applicants from Mainland China, which involves over 60 HKU professors travelling to Chinese cities to interview a shortlist of applicants.

Social media success

In 2008, HKU undergraduate Ray Chan co-founded the online platform and social media website 9GAG. Raising US$2.8 million in seed funding in 2012, and currently valued at over US$900 million, 9GAG is one of the top five most followed brands in the world, engaging more than 100 million people a month.

“Try before you reject” is one of the core values of 9GAG, and something I learned at Ricci Hall when I was studying law at HKU. Since then I’ve tried many things, including raising money from Silicon Valley and starting 9GAG with my co-founders.

EXPERIENCE-BASED EDUCATION FOR CONTEMPORARY CAREERS

HKU continues to modernise and enhance our undergraduate curriculum to stay current and consistent with industry opportunities and expectations. In recent years, the University moved away from an emphasis on traditional learning methods to undertake more experiential learning experiences that impart the hands-on skills and competencies expected by employers, such as innovative thinking, planning and decision-making, leadership, teamwork, negotiation skills, and the ability to work globally.

HKU has arguably the best employment record of any university in the world, reaching nearly 100% everyyear for the last decade.

DRIVING DIVERSITY AT HKU

INTERNATIONAL UNDERGRADUATE AND POSTGRADUATE STUDENTS

HKU actively recruits undergraduates from Mainland China and further afield to drive our internationalisation efforts and increase cultural diversity on campus. The University has made significant strides over the past decade, and is proud to now accommodate the maximum number of international students permitted under current government policy. The Hong Kong government places no restrictions on the number of non-local postgraduate students, and as a result HKU attracted over 24,000 postgraduate applications from Mainland China and abroad last year.

INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE STUDENTS

Last year, HKU welcomed over 1,000 predominately undergraduate exchange students from its partner universities around the world. More than a third opted for business and economics programmes, reflecting the appeal of Hong Kong as one of the most important financial hubs in Asia.

SUMMER PROGRAMMES

HKU offers over 50 summer programmes across different faculties for secondary school, undergraduate, and postgraduate students seeking a life-changing international adventure. The HKU Summer Institute provides an excellent platform for overseas students to spend a summer studying in Hong Kong, while gaining invaluable experiences and memories in one of Asia’s most vibrant cities.

OVERSEAS OPPORTUNITIES FOR HKU STUDENTS

HKU encourages students to think about their education in an international context, and strives to equip scholars with the confidence and competence to succeed in an increasingly globalised world. Part of this effort is creating plenty of opportunities to study outside of Hong Kong.

Enrolling in exchanges

HKU presents undergraduates with incomparable opportunities to learn and live overseas. Last year, over 1,400 students studied abroad in semester or year-long exchanges as part of the HKU Worldwide Student Exchange Programme, which partners with some of the highest ranked universities in the world. In 2015, new exchange agreements were formalised with the American University of Central Asia in Kyrgyzstan, the University of Chicago, the University of Eastern Finland, the University of Geneva, George Washington University, the University of Georgia, and Sabanci University in Turkey.

A summer spent at Cambridge

The Pembroke-King's Programme gave me a great opportunity to get a taste of student life at Cambridge over eight weeks in the summer. Under the guidance of my supervisor, I received proper training in how to write a scientific journal-style article. I also learned more about my current HKU research project and wrote five essays during my time there.

Psychology studies at Oxford

I went to the University of Oxford for an academic exchange, which has been the most fruitful year of my life. In addition to studying experimental psychology with world-leading scientists, I gained programming skills, critical evaluation of scientific papers practice, and sophisticated data analysis techniques. We often went to pubs with guest speakers and had casual chats. I felt honoured to talk to world-class researchers and to know about their work.

COLLABORATIVE LEARNING ACROSS CONTINENTS

HKU has created numerous worldwide collaborative learning programmes, most commonly for joint PhD or dual degrees, with the following institutions:

TEAM VICTORY: ASIA’S NUMBER ONE MBA AT HKU

As one of Asia’s youngest Master of Business Administration (MBA) programmes, HKU is enormously proud to have its MBA course ranked number one in Asia for the sixth consecutive year by The Economist's world MBA rankings. HKU’s MBA programme finds its edge in collaborations with leading business schools, leveraging the strengths of each organisation to provide a global networking platform and curriculum representative of real-world dynamics.

The intensive 14-month programme is unique in offering students the opportunity to study in four of the world’s key finance hubs. It begins with a one-month China immersion course in Beijing, followed by nine months of core and elective subjects with an Asia focus in Hong Kong. In the final four months, students complete elective subjects with an international business focus at London Business School, Columbia Business School, or Fudan University in Shanghai, depending on their chosen track.

The success of these partnerships has led to the launch of a joint EMBA programme between HKU, London Business School and Columbia Business School, providing the HKU MBA community global reach, access to leading business schools around the world, and valuable international alumni networks.

I met recruiters from Merck and got hired as a Senior Project Manager for Supply Chain Management. This global role gives me the chance to work with people from many different countries and regions. Every day at work feels a little bit like being back in the MBA at HKU.

Examining architecture in Shanghai

During a semester in vibrant Shanghai, I was able to get a genuinely local experience through interacting with Fudan University students who sat in on some classes. Hearing different views of architectural issues was really useful, as it brought light to the conversations we were having. My architectural studies still benefit from my semester in Shanghai and the urban nature of the city.

CREATING MASTERS OF BUSINESS

The MBA programme with Fudan University is one of the longest running and most successful partnerships HKU has fostered in Mainland China. Since its launch in 1998, the programme has produced more than 3,800 outstanding graduates, many of whom now hold key positions in the business and public sectors across the Mainland.

CONNECTING WITH MAINLAND CHINA

As the oldest university in Hong Kong, HKU has cultivated excellent ties with Mainland China, which continue to flourish through HKU’s satellite offices in Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen. Students benefit from incomparable opportunities through cross-border exchange programmes, academic collaborations, and research initiatives. With China emerging as a global superpower, and a key business and trade partner with the rest of the world, it’s important that all HKU students understand the current policies and practices of Mainland China as part of their journey at HKU.

OVER 3000 STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN HKU'S CHINA VISION PROGRAMME IN 2015

HKU’s China Vision programme invites students to benefit from interactive experiential learning experiences in the place where knowledge and expertise are booming – Mainland China. In 2015, over 3,000 HKU students have taken part in around 200 projects in megacities such as Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou, and remote villages in Gansu and Guizhou. Last year, participants travelled across the Mainland to learn about the country’s culture, economic development, diplomacy, and international relations. The programme’s wide-ranging topics cover everything from current affairs, to arts, science, and architecture, supporting students in applying their academic knowledge in a real-world context.

KNOWLEDGE SHARING

Welcoming HKU students from the Faculties of Architecture, Business and Economics, and the Journalism and Media Studies Centre, the Shanghai Study Centre offers a platform to supplement their studies through knowledge exchange and engagement opportunities with Mainland China.

PIONEERING RESEARCH

The HKU-Shenzhen (HKU-SIRI) and HKU-Zhejiang (HKU-ZIRI) Institutes of Research and Innovation are extensions of HKU’s research capabilities in Mainland China. The Institutes aim to enhance research in cutting-edge disciplines, support independent innovations, and strengthen partnerships between HKU, local government, and the Pearl River and Yangtze River Delta regions.

DIVERSE OPPORTUNITIES FOR MAINLAND STUDENTS

In 2015, the Hong Kong government introduced a pilot programme for Mainland Chinese students who excel in areas outside academic achievement. The initiative supports HKU’s drive towards greater diversity on campus. Last year, two national athletes and several award winners in the National Olympiad subject competitions were admitted to HKU under the scheme.

CROSS-LEARNING IN HEALTHCARE

HKU-Shenzhen Hospital is a public hospital with comprehensive facilities built by the Shenzhen government and managed HKU. It redefines patient care standards and drives healthcare reform in China. Currently in its third year of operation, the hospital serves as a clinical skills and professional ethics training centre, enriching HKU’s medical programme and research capabilities through an exclusive partnership.

BESPOKE TRAINING PROGRAMMES

HKU’s Executive Training programme consists of a wide range of short-term schemes for Mainland government departments, educational institutions, and enterprises that are designed to suit participants' learning needs and busy schedules. Programmes typically include lectures delivered by HKU professors or industry experts, workshops, site visits, and discussions.

32 33

Various sections of HKU provide support and education to ensure HKU has a discrimination-free and equal opportunity campus. Amongst them, the Admissions and Academic Liaison Section of the Registry organises outreach programmes for students, as young as primary school age to assist their careers and life planning, from all areas of Hong Kong.

The Faculty of Education, currently ranked 6th best in the world, has developed a youth-mentoring initiative that encourages promising students from local secondary schools with low rates of admission

to consider tertiary education. Undergraduate student-teachers provide support, guidance and encouragement, both academic and social, to secondary school students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds to help bring about positive change in their lives and enhance their social capital, academic achievement and emotional well-being. This mentoring experience also develops student-teachers' interpersonal skills, understanding of self and others, and builds their capacities as change agents and advocates for social justice in the wider community.

SCHOLARSHIPS

HKU is proud to prioritise the intellectual and social contributions of its students to ensure the most talented and intellectually gifted students are granted access to HKU, its regardless of financial considerations. Thanks to the generosity of the donors, the University offers substantial scholarship schemes to both local and non-local students. HKU also awards current students with enrichment and merit-based scholarships for expenses like accommodation, exchanges, overseas research trips, student projects, and the development of service learning schemes.

Through HKU’s commitment to the values of equity and social justice, we continue to drive and encourage the pursuit of tertiary education across all communities of Hong Kong, actively encouraging applicants with disabilities and those from disadvantaged or minority backgrounds.

A CONNECTED COMMUNITY

HKU offers generous scholarships and service learning opportunities, a dedicated student support body, outreach programmes, and mentoring schemes – all to realise its vision of being a university for all

Community service after graduation

Many HKU graduates continue to contribute their talents and knowledge to serve underprivileged groups beyond their university years. One example is Beyond the Wall, formed by young HKU architecture graduates and students, which improves the learning environment at schools in Nepal through the installation of stimulating outdoor teaching devices. Another is Launchpilots, which was established by Chung Jah-ying, a graduate of the prestigious Bachelor of Business Administration (International Business and Global Management) degree programme. One of 11 start-ups supported by Swire Properties in 2015, Launchpilots connects university student event organisers with sponsors in Hong Kong and Shanghai.

Expanding empathy in Hong Kong

I took part in a one-month summer programme organised by the Society for the Welfare of Autistic Persons. Volunteers are paired up with a child with autism or down syndrome to act as their buddy for the month. Our responsibilities included helping the children with their holiday homework, assisting with outings and classes, and disciplinary control. The unique experience gave me the chance to understand the kids, talk to their parents, and learn how to communicate with people living with these conditions.

SERVICE LEARNING: MAKING EDUCATION MORE MEANINGFUL

Following a decade as HKU's Dean of Student Affairs, Dr Albert Chau reflects on how HKU enriches its learning through community service. HKU has always made serving the community an integral part of our students’ learning experience. Back in 1950, the HKU Students’ Union established the Social Service Group to serve underprivileged people in Hong Kong and China. In 1995, the Students’ Union went on to create the China Education Association – a registered charity providing financial subsidies, classes and tutorial groups to students, while renovating schools in remote villages in Mainland China. When HKU celebrated its centenary in 2011, the SERVICE 100 scheme was introduced to connect hundreds of HKU scholars with community service opportunities, making significant impacts on societies around the world.

To enhance the inclusion of service learning in HKU curriculums, the University’s faculties and departments have increasingly incorporated experiential learning methods into their teaching activities. More recently, HKU students have initiated and driven multiple social enterprises to tackle the UN’s set of Sustainable Development Goals and Millennium Development Goals to help put an end to poverty and hunger, support gender equality, combat climate change, and promote fair trade. HKU has also sponsored our students to attend conferences such as the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris, and the Clinton Global Initiative in Florida.

Service and learning at HKU are two sides supporting the same coin. Through community service endeavours, the University fulfils a commitment to improving the living conditions of underprivileged communities, particularly in Asia, while realising its vision of nurturing responsible future world leaders.
