The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong (HSUHK) held its Information Day 2023 today (18 November), attracting many prospective secondary school students and their parents, who attended a variety of activities to learn more about HSUHK’s latest programmes and admissions information. On the first day for undergraduate admission for the next academic year (2024-25); many form six students visited the HSUHK campus to apply for admission to their desired programme and take assessments on-site. Eligible applicants who completed all application procedures on Information Day may receive the University’s first-round conditional offers from December 2023 onwards.

HSUHK has revamped its previous Principal Recommended Admission Scheme to a new School Recommended Direct Admission Scheme for Talented Students to provide more diverse admission channels for students with outstanding performance in various fields. Form six students with distinguished performance in non-academic areas, such as sports, music, arts; or outstanding leadership qualities, such as Head Prefects, Presidents of Students’ Unions; or active participants of community services are welcome to apply through recommendations by their schools. After individual assessments, the University will give direct offer to successful applicants before the release of the HKDSE examination results. The Scheme also covers Hong Kong and Macao students who reside in Guangdong province in the coming academic year.

The five schools of HSUHK, viz the School of Business, School of Communication, School of Decision Sciences, School of Humanities and Social Science and School of Translation and Foreign Languages, set up information booths and organised briefing sessions, with academic staff and students providing consultations and answering enquiries on admissions and campus life.

A wide array of workshops and taster activities were offered on campus, including “Hands-on Workshop on Artificial Intelligence”, “TV News Production Workshop”, and “Creative Workshop”. There were also campus tours featuring the University’s state-of-the-art teaching facilities, such as the “Virtual Reality and Big Data Analytics Centre”, the “Financial Trading Laboratory” and the “SCOM Cinema and TV Production Centre”, providing opportunities to visitors to experience the learning environment.

All programmes in HSUHK are supported under different Government Subsidy Schemes. The Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Art and Design programme of the School of Humanities and Social Science, and all the undergraduate programmes of the School of Decision Sciences are supported under the Study Subsidy Scheme for Designated Professions/Sectors (SSSDP) in the 2024-25 academic year.
