The University of Hong Kong has admitted nearly 10 Taiwanese students through the undergraduate admission programme 2010-11. They include top scorer (Zhuanyuan) in the General Scholastic Ability Test Mr. Lin Tsen Yuan and talented student Mr. Hsieh Chun Kuang. Both of them had outstanding scores in the test and performed brilliantly during the interviews.
Dr. K.C. Cheung, Associate Professor from the Faculty of Engineering who had interviewed the applicants, said he was deeply impressed by the enthusiasm shown by Taiwan students in learning. Mr Lin will enroll in the Bachelor of Science programme and Mr. Hsieh in the Bachelor of Economics & Finance programme in September.
