Mr Louie Wu Lut-yin | Year 3 Bachelor of Nursing (Full-time) student

The HKU Worldwide Undergraduate Student Exchange Programme (HKUWW) was a precious opportunity for me to explore myself and enhance personal growth. I was required to choose four modules as an associate student at the Queen Mary University of London (QMUL). I selected courses related to Cold War America and research methodology. In addition, I took courses on health systems and global health that were offered by Bart’s and the London School of Medicine. The latter two courses allowed me to envision health in a different way. As a nursing student, the focus is on individual care rather than the institutional level. Yet, after studying these courses, I now understand the importance of community health and health policy. Apart from studies, I was given a chance to join their college field hockey team and participate in different competitions. The takeaway from this semester is valuable, I broadened my horizons and became a better person. I will always be thankful to HKU School of Nursing for offering such an opportunity to us.
