Head’s Message

Message from the Head of Global Affairs

Welcome to the Global Affairs Office (GAO) of HSUHK. We are excited to embark on a transformative journey of strategic partnerships and global engagement, with a strong emphasis on enhancing the competitiveness and impact of HSUHK.

At HSUHK, we recognise the importance of establishing strategic platforms and partnerships that foster synergies and drive collaboration. Our primary objective is to develop strategic partnerships, particularly in the Greater Bay Area by managing the operation of HSUHK (Nansha) Centre which serves as the HSUHK’s first office in Mainland China and was officially opened in May 2025, as well as to expand our footprint in North and Southeast Asia. GAO plays a pivotal role in advancing academic partnerships, exchanges, student recruitment, and other collaborative opportunities within the Greater China region and internationally.

Under GAO, we are dedicated to partnership development and institutional promotion. We coordinate partner visits and formulate strategic initiatives to ensure that our students derive maximum benefit from global learning experiences. Additionally, we provide comprehensive pre-arrival services and support to exchange and non-local students, fostering a nurturing and inclusive environment through various activities that promote cross-cultural understanding.

We invite you to explore GAO and discover the exciting initiatives and opportunities we are spearheading. Together, let us create a vibrant and globally connected community at HSUHK, where partners, faculty, and students can thrive and make a lasting impact.
