"I love the logic behind science subjects and enjoy explore the world’s mystery. Faculty of Science offered me liberty and flexibility. It empowered me to take a variety of courses. I deeply felt in love with statistics during my first year taking SCNC 1111 course, which used mathematical science to solve real life problems. The more statistics courses I took, the more intrigued I was.
Over my three years in university, I met amazing professors, tutors, and university staff who gave me lots of advices and guidance towards my study and future career. With the Faculty’s support, I chose risk management as my major.
I believe university is a place for us to realise our passion and HKU is the perfect place."
