Soaring high in HKU

Hanson Chin started as a freshman and President's Scholar with a full scholarship to study Medicine at HKU after graduating from Hwa Chong International School in Malaysia. What drew Hanson to HKU is not only its global reputation and the university's achievements and breakthroughs in the medical field, but also the opportunity offered for medical students to explore their interests through the "enrichment year".

"With HKU being one of the top and most prestigious medical universities in Asia, I have been drawn to its century old history ever since university applications began in my high school.  From its entanglement with the 2003 SARS epidemic, to offering an "enrichment year" for students to explore specific interests in the middle of the MBBS programme, everything about HKU's medical faculty seemed to hint at a nuanced and unique adventure. I believe it remains to be one of the very few institutions that provide merit-based scholarships for degrees such as medicine, and it has been a privilege to receive such a blessing to alleviate the financial burden for my family."

In the four and a half years at HKU, not only did I grasp the knowledge that every professor was eager to transfer but the many priceless opportunities that the university has offered me. As a freshman, I joined AIESEC and went on a six-week trip to Turkey for international cultural exchange and voluntary teaching. In Year 2, I had my first internship at a start-up company where I was encouraged by the founder to participate in HKU’s newly launched entrepreneurship competition – DreamCatchers. Never had I imagined my team would make it to the Top 20 Awards!

University life in HKU for me has been very fruitful. In addition to the education quality and other facilities offered, HKU has encouraged me to learn beyond the scope of the classroom. To me personally, extracurricular activities and relevant experience are must-haves to successfully initiate a career in Hong Kong. The fact that it constantly exposes its students to valuable opportunities, is my main reason for choosing HKU. During my first two years of university I have participated in multiple case competitions, both local and international, most of which are introduced and fully funded by Faculty of Business and Economics at HKU.

Sidhant Gupta went to 12 different countries on HKU's dime during his four years at the University of Hong Kong (HKU). From Netherlands to London to Myanmar to Vietnam. He started companies in some, went for an exchange programme in others and somehow still found time to participate in Model United Nations Conferences. These trips continue to be his favourite part of the HKU experience.
