In the latest round of the Education Bureau's Enhancement and Start-up Grant Scheme for Self-financing Post-secondary Education, HKMU has secured over HK$77 million in funding to establish two new undergraduate programmes in 2026–27: Bachelor of Science with Honours in Diagnostic Radiography and Bachelor of Applied Science with Honours in Robotics and Automation Engineering. The former, with an expected intake of 60 students in the first cohort, adopts a unique design of the bachelor-master (4+1 years) pathway which prepares students to become diagnostic radiographers and sonographers in the healthcare field. The latter equips students with essential skills to apply automation and retrofit robotics solutions across various industries, with an expected annual intake of 60 students.
This marks the fourth consecutive year that HKMU has received funding from this scheme. The amount granted this year has more than doubled compared to last year, reflecting the Government's trust and recognition of our continuous efforts in nurturing professional talent to meet industry needs.
HKMU welcomes the reappointment of Ir Dr Conrad Wong Tin-cheung as Chairman of the Council, effective from 20 June for a three-year term. A seasoned leader in the construction industry with wide exposure in higher education, public service and the business sector, Dr Wong joined the Council in 2019 as Deputy Chairman and has served as Chairman since 2022.
The University also welcomes the reappointment of Mr Henry Tong Sau-chai as Deputy Chairman, Mr Arnold Cheng Ka-kui as Treasurer, and Ir Prof. Alan Lam Hiu-fung, Mr Bosco Law Ching-kit and Mr Yu Chung-leung as members of the Council.
