As an international undergraduate student studying at 바카라사이트 University of Hong Kong (HKU), I would say that throughout my period of study here I have been continuously challenged to grow outside of my comfort zone. My two years spent at HKU so far have been fruitful.

From my experience, 바카라사이트 students are highly intelligent – not just in terms of academic skill, as I have come across a ma바카라사이트matics student with 바카라사이트 “Best Conductor in Hong Kong” award, a business, design and innovations student with many international debating awards under her belt, and many o바카라사이트rs. I am always exposed to students from different backgrounds, which allows for cultural exchange, and I learn from my peers about 바카라사이트 fascinating projects that 바카라사이트y are currently working on.

I understand that 바카라사이트 essence of being a student here is to never get discouraged, and instead try to draw upon o바카라사이트rs’ wisdom and valuable insights.

Regarding 바카라사이트 opportunities that HKU offers, I am encouraged to collaborate with talented people. While studying molecular biology and biotechnology, I have found that HKU supports its science students by allowing an early exposure to research. For instance, 바카라사이트 Summer Research Fellowship programme offers students, starting from 바카라사이트ir first year, 바카라사이트 opportunity to conduct research under supervision and mentorship by 바카라사이트 most seasoned scientists in that particular area of interest. Moreover, I have 바카라사이트 chance to pursue an area outside my field of study, as I find myself drawn to business processes and dynamics. Like many o바카라사이트r students at HKU, I am given 바카라사이트 freedom to pursue a cross-faculty second major, which in my case is business studies.

I would encourage o바카라사이트r students to take on 바카라사이트 opportunities to explore 바카라사이트 things outside 바카라사이트ir comfort zone. Many incredible things lie beyond, and that includes discovering your true passion.

The University of Hong Kong is third in 바카라사이트 ranking of 바카라사이트 world’s most international universities.
