Bianca Olivia is a recipient of the HKU Foundation Entrance Scholarship. She described her university life as both tough and fun. 

In the four and a half years at HKU, not only did I grasp the knowledge that every professor was eager to transfer but the many priceless opportunities that the university has offered me. As a freshman, I joined AIESEC and went on a six-week trip to Turkey for international cultural exchange and voluntary teaching. In Year 2, I had my first internship at a start-up company where I was encouraged by the founder to participate in HKU’s newly launched entrepreneurship competition – DreamCatchers. Never had I imagined my team would make it to the Top 20 Awards!

HKU supports and opens up many career opportunities all year round for students to explore. Harshita is from India, studying Bachelor of Business Administration (Accounting and Finance). She is a freshman this year and was given the valuable internship experience at Soap Cycling Hong Kong. As a business development intern, she was not only able to learn necessary business skills but also developed as a well-rounded person.
