The University of Hong Kong (HKU) values holistic student development and has admitted students with excellent academic performance, clear ambitions, and diverse talents and interests this year through various admission schemes.

HKU will hold a media briefing tomorrow (Wednesday, August 9) to arrange interviews with students who have entered the University through different admission schemes. They include two HKDSE top scorers (5** in 7 subjects). Among those admitted through the School Nominations Direct Admission Scheme (SNDAS), Cheung Tsz Kin, who entered the Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery programme, is a top scorer with 5** in 6 subjects; Harmon Payton James, from a family of educators, will pursue a Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Education in Language Education – English, hoping to help high school students with slightly lower grades enter university; and Sze Chun Hei Issac, who is passionate about AI research and computer programming, will study Bachelor of Arts and Sciences in Applied Artificial Intelligence.

A Hong Kong basketball team member now preparing for the Hangzhou Asian Games has entered the Bachelor of Dental Surgery programme through the Sports Scholarship Scheme. He will tell his aspirations for both academics and sports through a video recording.

Professor Bennett Yim, Director of Undergraduate Admissions and International Student Exchange, will introduce the University’s admission directions and strategies.

Details of the media briefing are as follows:
