My 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 has 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.

Throughout my time at HKU, I've been able to take an incredibly wide variety of courses based on my own interests. These have ranged from forensic science and Buddhism to China studies. There is definitely something on offer here for everyone! The professors and tutors in my classes have been passionate and enthusiastic about their work and the subjects they teach, which makes me all the more motivated to get involved and participate in their classes. I am never hesitant to approach my teachers after classes because they are very friendly and willing to help out with any questions.

Moving to Hong Kong all alone was a little overwhelming, but from my very first moment in the journalism department, I felt welcome. Classes are always active, innovative, and dynamic. Many of the professors are international, and almost all of them have been foreign correspondents for news networks outside of their home countries. In orientation, the professors made it very clear that students and teachers are colleagues, so we call them by their first names. Our professors often work part-time because they still work in the field. They have real-life experience and fantastic stories about wartime reporting in Africa, or finance editing in Tokyo, or anchoring in Australia. Their personal connections in the industry at all the top news agencies mean amazing guest lecturers and potential internships for students.
