TEACHING AND LEARNING 19 18 HKU ANNUAL REPORT 2022 Our graduates’ ability to develop innovative solutions for societal challenges will depend on flexible, agile thinking. The University aims to advance this capability by systematically integrating undergraduate research into the curriculum for all students, which will deepen their knowledge and learning capabilities. Interdisciplinarity is also being advanced through the new Elite Capstone Programme that brings together students from at least three different faculties to develop innovative solutions to real-world problems. The Common Core, which celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2022, has been a pathbreaker in undergraduate research and interdisciplinarity and it will also support our coming Future Readiness programme to ensure HKU students have the skills and mindsets to be leaders in the future workforce. It is truly wonderful to have students back on campus at the start of the 2022–23 academic year, following the lifting of pandemic restrictions in Hong Kong. HKU prides itself as an attractive destination for top students from around the world. In 2022, 121 top scorers came to HKU from Hong Kong, the Mainland and overseas and our new students also had the highest average admission score in the HKDSE. DIGGING DEEPER STUDENTS CHOOSE HKU Students from across different faculties attending a workshop, jointly organised by the Common Core and Arup, for a transdisciplinary research project to study the design of open spaces across Hong Kong. HKU prides itself as an attractive destination for top students from around the world. 121 top scorers including 52 students who studied in Hong Kong and 69 from the Mainland and overseas admitted to HKU in the 2022 intake. 98.7% employment Almost all graduates from 2021 were engaged in employment or pursuing further studies (21.4%) by the end of the year. This was the 16th consecutive year of full-time employment for HKU graduates. The future outlook for HKU graduates looks very rosy, even given the backdrop of geopolitical events and pandemics. HKU and Hong Kong in general are set to see a big expansion in opportunities through our deepening engagement with the Greater Bay Area. We are committed to preparing our students to lead the way in capitalising on these opportunities and building new bridges to the region and the rest of the world. 90 countries / regions Students came from countries as diverse as Armenia, Brazil, Czech Republic, Ethiopia, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland and Kazakhstan.
