About Us
Founded in 1911, The University of Hong Kong (HKU) was established in the spirit of intertwining Chinese and western cultures to advance knowledge exchange and cultivate elite talent with a global perspective. Today, HKU is Asia’s global university attracting students and scholars from all corners of the world to engage in high-quality teaching and research.
To enhance the University’s core mission in teaching and learning, research and knowledge exchange, the Mainland Affairs Office (MAO) was established in 2002 to facilitate academic exchanges between HKU and peer institutions in Mainland China. The MAO works closely with partner institutions, forming strategic alliances to promote research and academic collaborations and boost HKU’s global impact as a leading research university.
