We are delighted to welcome our third cohort of students on 𝐀𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝟐𝟒, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔, marked by a dynamic and engaging Orientation Day! ✨

💡The event commenced with an inspiring speech delivered by Professor Tarani Chandola, the Programme Director of the MSocSc(SDA) Programme. He shared how the programme is designed to equip students with essential computational skills and social sciences insights to address the evolving demands of today’s interconnected world, and insights on curriculum setting, learning objectives, and opportunities on this transformative academic journey. He also encouraged everyone to introduce themselves, creating a sense of interaction, connection, and community 🤝

🗺️📍The day was further enlivened by an ice-breaking game and an immersive campus hunt. Students worked in groups to complete a campus quiz and explored the HKU campus through GPS checkpoints. 🍽️🥗We also hosted an Orientation luncheon, providing students with an invaluable opportunity to connect with faculty members and gain deeper insight into campus life, research opportunities, and academic resources that will support them during their studies.

Here’s to a journey filled with 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚-𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲, 𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭, and 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧! 📊🔍🤝✨ May you turn data into meaningful stories, ask bold questions about society, and make this chapter truly memorable and transformative. 🚀🌏📖

Data and analytics are often about connecting the dots 📈, but at the heart of our programme, it’s really about connecting people 🤝.

A special shout-out to Professor Chandola for bringing the excitement with a fantastic Lucky Draw, and a huge thank you to our amazing student representatives who sparked plenty of laughter with a highly interactive trivia session! 🎁

To our MSocSc(SDA) cohort 🎓: it has been an absolute privilege to witness your resilience, collaboration, and growth this year. As you step forward into your next professional chapters, we know the future of data is in excellent hands. Wishing you all the absolute best in your future endeavours.
