HKU IDS is thrilled to kick off the 2025-26 academic year by welcoming our new batch of research postgraduate (RPg) students from around the world on September 3, 2025!

The orientation day was a vibrant start, with an exciting campus tour guided by one of our 3rd-year PhD students. Our new RPg students were warmly greeted at the HKU IDS office by Professor Yi Ma, our Institute Director and Chair of Artificial Intelligence, alongside our esteemed faculty, current RPg students, and dedicated staff. The morning was filled with useful information about our RPg programme, and a joyful lunch reception, that sparked new connections.

Join us in celebrating our newest members of the HKU IDS research family. Let’s learn and grow together!
