The University of Hong Kong was founded in 1911, but its history began in 1887 with the establishment of the Hong Kong College of Medicine. One of the most well known international figures of the 20th Century, Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the founding father of modern China, was one of the college’s first graduates. In 1911, the foundation stone was laid to commemorate the establishment of The University of Hong Kong, or HKU as its students and alumni fondly call it. Since then, the University has built upon a century of dedication and commitment to teaching and research excellence to become one of the leading, and most comprehensive universities in Asia.

The respected Times Higher Education Supplement announced its rankings of the world's top universities for 2007 on November 8, 2007, and HKU has been awarded with its highest ranking yet, as the 18th best university in the world.
