I came to HKU Journalism with no background in journalism, equipped only with a desire to learn and stories of how intense the MJ program would be. Adaptability, flexibility and tenacity were drilled into us in the form of world-class teaching across audio, video, and writing programs.

The faculty members here are some of the most kind and generous people I have met in my entire life. They not just teach meticulously in classes but also encourage one to strive for better.
