HKU has signed a new undergraduate exchange agreement with the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), marking the first bilateral education collaboration between the two universities. The signing ceremony took place during a visit to HKU by Professor Emma McCoy, Vice President and Pro-Vice Chancellor (Teaching) of LSE, where Professor McCoy met with Professor Ian Holliday, Vice-President and Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Teaching and Learning) of HKU.
LSE is a global community of people an ideas in the heart of central London. Founded in 1895 as a specialist social sciences university, LSE ranks 5th on the QS world university rankings by subjects.
The new agreement, signifying the universities' shared vision of providing holistic education that transcends borders, will enable students to embark on an enriching study abroad journey overseas for a year. It is also a testament to HKU's commitment in whole person education, and its efforts in providing transformative international experiences for students to empower them with the skills, knowledge, and values needed to thrive in an increasingly globalised world.
