In February 2026, the HKU Faculty of Social Sciences (FOSS) hosted an exciting series of \u2018Exploration Days\u2019, offering prospective students a firsthand glimpse into university life.<\/p>\n

Welcoming over 220 secondary school students, the lively event featured guided campus tours led by our dedicated student ambassadors, alongside a series of engaging mock lectures in Sociology, Social Work, and Geography.<\/p>\n

Attendees were given a true taste of our dynamic curriculum. They discovered how sociologists debunk common myths surrounding cultural heritage and explored how urban geographers analyse city development. A particular highlight was a captivating lecture delivered by Professor Samson Tse, Associate Dean (Teaching & Learning), who explored the complex definition of addiction and its profound impact on psychological well-being.<\/p>\n
