Learn more from our current student ambassadors:

Charmaine Tse (BBiomedSc IV): “The SA programme really is a great platform to unite students from different years and backgrounds across the Faculty. Helping at the information day developed my sense of responsibility. Events like Xmas gatherings were fun and it enriches my sense of belonging to the School. I would highly recommend it to students who are interested as it will be a rewarding journey!”

Kay Ho (BBiomedSc IV): “Being a part of the HKUMed SA community is equivalent to being a part of a family. It was through them that I was given the invaluable opportunity to venture and explore the true experience of being a student of the Faculty.”

Rachel Yeung (BBiomedSc IV): “The SA Programme allows you to expand your network, equip yourself with diverse skills that you might not have the opportunity to learn before, and know your school deeper. It is an interesting experience that you should have in university life.”
