Venue Highlights

The University of Hong Kong (or HKU, as it is familiarly known to students, staff and alumni) is the oldest tertiary education institution in Hong Kong. On March 16, 1910, Sir Frederick Lugard, the then Governor of Hong Kong, laid the foundation stone for the University, signifying the birth of Hong Kong's first tertiary institution.
On March 11, 1912, the University launched its official opening with its founding Faculty of Medicine which had evolved from the Hong Kong College of Medicine, founded in 1887. Of the College's early alumni, the most renowned was Dr Sun Yat-sen, the founder of modern China'.

Accommodation

Robert Black College was established in 1967 primarily as a guest house of The University of Hong Kong for visiting scholars from overseas and the mainland China on an endowment fund contributed by a number of donors, notably Sir Tang Shiu Kin. A major donation was also made by John Swire & Sons Limited to set up a number of residential scholarships to accommodate local graduate students, namely Swire Scholars, who serve as a bridge for cultural exchange with overseas residents. In 1998, Swire Scholars Association was formally established.

Robert Black College provides accommodation in a cordial academic environment for scholars and other visitors who are engaged in activities at The University of Hong Kong.
