Project Overview
The HKU website serves as a central digital platform for prospective students, current students, academics, researchers, alumni and international partners. It brings together information about academic programmes, admissions, faculties, research initiatives, university news and campus life.
For a major university with diverse audiences and extensive academic resources, the website needs to organise complex information into an accessible and intuitive experience. Clear navigation, structured content and strong visual communication help visitors find relevant information and understand the university’s academic strengths.

Higher Education & Digital Experience
A university website must serve a broad range of audiences with different objectives. Prospective students need to compare courses and understand admissions requirements, researchers look for expertise and collaboration opportunities, and alumni and industry partners seek news, events and ways to engage with the institution.
HKU’s digital presence demonstrates the importance of combining institutional storytelling with structured academic information. By connecting education, research, innovation and campus life, a university website can communicate its identity while helping visitors navigate a large and diverse organisation.
