Health and Safety

Hong Kong has relatively high levels of air pollution, which may affect students with respiratory difficulties. It is also typhoon season during June and July, with an average of 75% humidity and highs of 30 Celsius or more. In addition to the heat and humidity, much of the city, including the University of Hong Kong, is built on relatively steep hillsides. 

If you are under medical care or may be affected by heat or steep terrain, you are advised to consult both a physician and the Professional & International Programs office before applying.
