    Following the good news in May about being honoured the Award of Distinction in the Communicators Awards 2019, HKU Science Faculty website received another recognition by winning the WebAward 2019 – University Standard of Excellence, and being recognised as a “Friendly Website” under the Web Accessibility Recognition Scheme (18/19) in this Fall.

    The new Faculty website presents a graphically-impressive image, with fresh and global outlook. Yet apart from the focus on the appearance, the website also strives to be a user-friendly website and make it accessible for all stakeholders and general public. By achieving the above, prospective students, researchers, alumni and the public could easily acquire the information they need and get to know more about our commitment and achievements in teaching, research and knowledge exchange, while at the same time having a pleasant experience of surfing on our magazine-like website.
