Events

We are delighted to welcome 60 secondary school students from both local and international schools to a four-day Summer Programme 2025 – Discover HKU Nursing, organised by HKU School of Nursing scheduled for August 5 – 8.  Participants engaged in an exciting schedule packed with interesting activities, including a problem-based learning session and a Life Sciences workshop.  Our student ambassadors provided guided campus tours of both the Sassoon Road and HKU main campuses, sharing their campus life and personal experiences with the participants. 

We had the privilege to visit Queen Mary Hospital, which allows students to gain an overview of healthcare services provided by the Hospital Authority and experience the hospital environment firsthand.  Students showed great enthusiasm about this one-of-a-kind clinical visit.

Moreover, participants were invited to enjoy a High Table Dinner, offering a meaningful opportunity to immerse themselves in the rich traditions and culture of The University of Hong Kong. They gained insights from the sharing of our programme leaders, student and alumni representatives, engaged in fruitful conversations and spent fun-filled moments with fellow participants. They also experienced hall life by staying in the student dormitory like many university students.

The programme concluded with hands-on clinical skills training in the laboratory, where students had the opportunity to practice nursing techniques, interact with simulators and explore virtual reality tools. 

Despite the program being condensed into three days due to severe weather conditions, it did not compromise the participants' experience. Overall, the Summer Programme provided a unique glimpse into what the HKU School of Nursing has to offer. It ended on a high note, with participants making new friends, and feeling inspired and confident about pursuing a future in nursing.
