HKU focus<br />
<strong>Hong</strong> <strong>Kong</strong> University (HKU) is<br />
the oldest university in <strong>Hong</strong><br />
<strong>Kong</strong>, <strong>and</strong> has a tradition for<br />
transcending borders <strong>and</strong> cultures. In<br />
this respect, it reflects the nature of<br />
<strong>Hong</strong> <strong>Kong</strong> itself, taking influences from<br />
East <strong>and</strong> West <strong>and</strong> combining them to<br />
create an incredible place to study. It is<br />
the number one university in Asia<br />
according to The Times Higher Education<br />
rankings, <strong>and</strong> is well known for excellent<br />
tuition <strong>and</strong> research of the highest quality.<br />
What is it like to study t<strong>here</strong>?<br />
First h<strong>and</strong><br />
HKU aim to develop their students’<br />
personal skills as well as their knowledge.<br />
All courses are taught in English, <strong>and</strong> your<br />
degree includes a mixture of classroom<br />
learning, community involvement <strong>and</strong><br />
social activities, with opportunities for<br />
internships, research, <strong>and</strong> overseas<br />
travel. The university has links with 300<br />
institutions worldwide, <strong>and</strong> has vast<br />
experience with international students.<br />
The emphasis on “hall life” means that<br />
students develop a sense of belonging,<br />
<strong>and</strong> t<strong>here</strong> are over 110 clubs to cater<br />
for a wide range of interests, from rock<br />
climbing to ballroom dancing.<br />
Being at HKU is different - the exposure you get to different cultures <strong>and</strong> people<br />
is just astonishing. I feel being <strong>here</strong> has opened my eyes <strong>and</strong> made me become<br />
more open minded <strong>and</strong> less ignorant. Overall, coming to HKU is a decision that has<br />
changed my life for the better as being <strong>here</strong> has helped me become so much more aware<br />
of the other side of the world. I certainly do not miss waiting around for buses back home!
