Dear new students,
On behalf of The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong (HSUHK), my warmest welcome as you begin an exciting new learning journey with us!
By joining HSUHK, you become part of a vibrant community where staff and fellow students support one another. To help you settle in, a series of activities will be held under the HSUHK Welcome Fest. This year’s theme, “HSUnity – Awaken”, combines “HSUHK” and “Unity,” embodying our spirit of togetherness. “Awaken (醒)” is the university’s Character of the Year, symbolising sharpness, innovation, and agility—qualities essential for thriving in today’s fast-changing world.
This year is particularly special for HSUHK as we celebrate our 45th Anniversary. Over the years, our unique “Liberal + Professional (博雅 + 專業)” education model has provided students with a holistic learning experience, supported by ample resources to explore your interests and potentials. At HSUHK, you will enjoy interactive small-class teaching and learning, close student-teacher relationships, enriching residential college life, abundant opportunities for internships, leadership training and experiential learning. These experiences aim to equip you with the five core transferable qualities—the “5Cs”: Critical Thinking, Creativity, Communication & Collaboration, Caring Attitude, and Continuous Active Learning.
As you begin this new chapter, I encourage you to seize every opportunity in learning, services and personal development, engage actively in your studies and community, and “awaken” your full potential. University education is not just about acquiring professional knowledge and skills for your first graduation job; more importantly, it prepares you to embrace the challenges and opportunities ahead with confidence and resilience, enabling you to become a responsible global citizen with a strong sense of purpose and fulfillment.
Last but not least, let me remind you to uphold the University’s motto, “Erudition and Perseverance (博學篤行)”, and stay true to our Core Values: Mutual Trust, Value-addedness, Innovativeness, Caring Attitude, and Responsibility. These values shape the learning culture at HSUHK and guide us in fulfilling our mission.
Once again, welcome to HSUHK. We look forward to witnessing your journey of discovery, learning, and transformation. Enjoy your university life to the fullest at HSUHK!
Professor Simon S.M. Ho
President
Welcome to the HSUHK family!
We are thrilled to have you join us as you embark on this exciting new adventure at The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong (HSUHK). HSUHK is more than just a place of learning; it is a vibrant and supportive community where you will find friendship, encouragement, and countless ways to grow.

With the slogan “New Game + : Awaken Your Uni Power,” we invite you to see your university journey as an exciting new stage full of potential, transformation, and adventure.
In gaming, “New Game +” means starting fresh while carrying forward everything you have learned before, ready to face new challenges with greater skill and confidence. That’s why this year’s Welcome Fest features a playful 8-bit pixel art design, inspired by classic video games. Just as each level in those games brings new obstacles and rewards, your university life will offer you many chances to learn, overcome challenges, and celebrate your achievements.
We believe each of you is unique and full of potential. We encourage you to explore your interests, step out of your comfort zone, and embrace the challenges ahead.
