"I am excited to be part of the HKU’s BStat in Statistical Decision Sciences first cohort that perfectly combines my passion for data science with my career aspirations. I chose this program because of its professional core in Decision Analytics, which lies at the heart of modern data science. I'm absolutely fascinated by how data can lead to pragmatic decisions in businesses and technology. I believe this specialization will give me the analytical skills and technical knowledge I need to become a successful data scientist in the future.
What further confirmed my decision was the exceptional financial support available for students from both School of Computing and Data Science and the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science to invest in and nurture new talents. I was honoured to receive the CDS Entrance Scholarship with this strong institutional backing which gave students like me the confidence and resources to fully focus on our academic journey and professional development.
Beyond the great curriculum and financial aid, I've been really impressed by the community and practical opportunities here. From dedicated student clubs to mentorship programs, there's always something going on. It's not just about learning statistics here, but rather about people - both students and professors."
