"The postgraduate programme at SMLC was a game changer for my academic development. The quality of research supervision, the freedom and resources for academic inquiry, and, most invaluably, the collegial respect for postgraduates as independent researchers among faculty members – all these are increasingly rare gifts that one can still expect from HKU."
