What Students Say...
Donald CHAN
My experience at HSUHK’s Bachelor of Social Science in Asian Studies was transformative. The comprehensive curriculum deepened my understanding of Asia’s diverse cultures. A highlight was the Overseas Learning Experience in Japan, which broadened my perspective, improved my language skills, and immersed me in Japanese culture. I highly recommend this programme to anyone passionate about Asian studies.

HSUHK’s PPE programme became my anchor and my community. Together with classmates, I helped launch the Student Association, which soon felt like a big family. We hosted book clubs and movie nights, and somehow squeezed in the laughter between deadlines. In the classroom and in hallway debates, I learned to examine policy from many angles and to respect different voices. I was also lucky to study on exchange in Oslo, where I met lifelong friends from different cultures and came home with new ideas. To the teachers and friends who backed me: thank you for the guidance, patience, and pep talks. I’m heading into the next adventure with a curious mind, a sturdy backpack, and plenty of good humour.

CHAN Pui Huen
As a member of the first graduating class of the BA-PSY programme, I feel I have grown alongside its expansion. Studying psychology has not only equipped me with knowledge of human thoughts and behaviours but has also deepened my self-understanding and appreciation for the power of relationships.
These four years have been incredibly fulfilling; I became a member of the Honours Academy, participated in an exchange programme in Prague, and completed an internship at the Hong Kong Red Cross. Despite moments of self-doubt, helplessness, and confusion along the way, my perseverance and repeated attempts revealed that my abilities extend far beyond those challenges. I always remind myself when feeling insecure that “If I never try, I’ll never know what I am capable of.”
I am grateful to all my groupmates for the projects we have completed, as well as to the teachers and staff for their support and guidance, which have enabled me to pursue my own path with confidence.
