The University of Hong Kong (HKU) and The Hong Kong Sports Institute (HKSI) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in Oct 2017 to formalize the cooperation in development of elite athletes’ dual career pathways, encouraging them to strike a balance between study and elite training. The MOU outlines a list of special arrangements in admission and study for HKSI full-time scholarship elite athletes, offering them greater flexibility in tertiary study. Extension of graduation time line is also granted to athletes, which allows them to train full-time under a flexible curriculum. In addition, individualized mentoring support, academic advice and career planning are also offered to athletes. Benefiting from the MOU, HKSI full-time scholarship athletes can continue their academic and personal development while committing to intensive training and competition schedules.

HKU and HKSI collaborate to enhance dual career pathways for elite athletes. For further information, please click here.
