As students enter HKU, they are likely to be bewildered by new demands and challenges presented by rich and diverse learning opportunities. To help them fully exploit these opportunities, academic and non-academic induction programmes are offered. An academic advising system has also been set up to help them understand their educational options, culture and ethos of learning at HKU, and the aims of university education. To know more about the network of support services that we offer to first-year students, please visit our onestop website and Facebook page.

Faculty-based Academic Advising

Each Faculty has set up an academic advising system and each first-year student is assigned an academic adviser with whom he/she meets regularly to discuss both academic and non-academic study-related issues.

Residence-based Academic Advising

Each hall of residence has appointed senior undergraduate students to serve as residential student advisers to help advising students on academic matters and hall life. These advisers are supervised by the Wardens and Tutors of their respective halls of residence.
