Welcome to HKUSBMS 🧬 Your biomed journey starts here.

At orientation day, our freshmen got their first glimpse of life at HKUSBMS — from discovering the programme and our 4 specialised majors, to meeting faculty members, peer mentors and biomedical sciences society.

They also learnt more about academic advising, student wellness support and the many resources available throughout their university journey.

More importantly, it was a day to meet new classmates, ask questions and take the first step towards becoming part of the HKUSBMS community. 💙

Here’s a look back at some of the highlights from the day 🎥👇

To all our new students: stay curious, embrace every opportunity and enjoy the journey ahead. Welcome to HKUSBMS!

📰 From classroom learning to real-world discovery

A recent Greater Bay Area study tour gave HKU BBiomedSc and MBBS students the opportunity to visit leading pharmaceutical companies, research laboratories and innovation hubs, gaining first-hand insights into the region's rapidly evolving biomedical industry💊.

🧑🏻‍🔬Reflecting on the experience, SBMS Year 3 student Vincy Tai shared:

"The company visits were eye-opening and gave me valuable insights into how the biomedical industry works in real-life settings. They reinforced my aspiration to pursue a career in the field. Building on the experiential learning opportunities and internship programme offered by HKUMed, the tour inspired me to continue seeking learning opportunities beyond the classroom."

✨The five-day tour enabled students to broaden their career perspectives, connect academic knowledge with industry practice, and explore opportunities for future collaboration and innovation across the Greater Bay Area.
