MESSAGE FROM FOUNDING HEAD OF THE HONOURS ACADEMY

Welcome to the Honours Academy (HA) at The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong (HSUHK). As the founding HA Head, I am excited to introduce this newly established programme in Hong Kong. The HA is founded with the goals to bring together resources inside and outside of HSUHK in a systematic manner for talent development. We are committed to nurturing future leaders who will create a positive impact on society, both locally and globally.   

The HA is built on the excellent foundation of HSUHK’s academic diversity and seeks to develop our homegrown high-achievers through an innovative and flexible interdisciplinary curriculum structure. While our students pursue diverse majors, the HA serves as a hub to  inspire them to think broadly and collaborate constructively with each other with the concerted support and efforts across different units in HSUHK. This unprecedented initiative in HSUHK  reflects our dedication to education.   

We prioritise education through tailor-made modules, scholarships, experiential learning, senior research projects, and mentoring by our Professional and Academic Fellows. 

Our prestigious mentoring programme connects HA students with industry leaders for job shadowing and guidance, while academic research projects are supervised by distinguished scholars. These experiences equip our students to analyse and solve social problems. 

I encourage our carefully selected HA students to maximise the resources available for academic, professional, and personal growth. Admittance to the HA recognices academic and personal achievements. I welcome those who aspire to reach their highest potential to join the HA family.
