“Where you get 4 years of total free time”
Ella C
Germany, Undergraduate
Business Studies, 2020
OverallYou can literally skip all the classes and just attend tests and exams or hand in assignments on time then you will be good.
What HKU has given me is all the free time so I can develop my own interests. You'll need to be very self-motivating in order to get something from the uni or learn something in this 4 years because you don't have to study at all so you need to have your very own learning plan.

Course recommendations
This all depends on what faculty you are part of. I have heard the business faculty should be quiet good.
