"My 4 years spent in the Bsc(Actuarial Science) Programme were immensely rewarding and formative. During that time, I was given ample opportunities to develop and grow in various aspects. Academically, HKU's competitive and intellectually stimulating courses allowed me to develop the necessary skills required for an actuary, and provided me with the confidence and knowledge to tackle the numerous professional exams required by our profession. The flexible course structure also allowed me to expand my horizons and incorporate programmes from other departments into my academic journey, allowing me to further develop my skills in numerous fields such as physics and computer science. Moreover, HKU was also extremely supportive in my career development. I was able to participate in mentorship programmes and secured internships through the various career oriented programmes organized by the department, and was even allowed an opportunity to serve as a tutor in a course to share my insights and experience with other students, allowing me to also develop my own abilities along the way. Furthermore, through the department's numerous well-placed partnerships, I was also fortunate to be supported financially by various scholarship opportunities, which provided me with the financial freedom to pursue my academic goals at will. All in all, the actuarial science programme gave me 4 excellent years, and served as an invaluable springboard for my career after graduation."
