Press Release

As the 2026–27 academic year kicked off, HKU Business School warmly welcomed our new undergraduates and incoming exchange students. Beginning in late August 2026, a vibrant series of orientation activities brought the cohort together—connecting peers across programmes, introducing key academic and support teams, and sharing practical guidance for a confident start. The result was clear: new faces quickly became one community, ready to thrive.

Hong Kong surpassed Switzerland to become the world's largest cross-border wealth management centre. As demand for talent continues to grow, HKU Business School, with the support of Bank of China (Hong Kong), has established the first university-led Wealth Management Academy (the Academy) and successfully held its inauguration ceremony on 8 September. This significant milestone brought together more than 180 business leaders, academics, and industry experts.
