香港大學日新學院 New College

一般信息

The College was open in the first semester of 2012 as New College of the HKU Residential Colleges. We provide accommodation for slightly over 400 students with different backgrounds including undergraduate and postgraduate students from Hong Kong, Mainland and overseas countries.

We took on the official name “NEW COLLEGE” by a HKU Council resolution on 29 April 2014. Our Chinese name is “日新學院” which means new and renewing every day! The College is named in recognition of a generous donation from The Tung Foundation to the University. The Founder of the Foundation was the late shipping magnate, Mr. C. Y. Tung, who was always greatly enthusiastic about youth development and considers education to be the bedrock of a mature and successful society. The key objectives of the Foundation are to foster, develop and improve social and culture development, promote charitable purposes, enhance cultural exchanges and understanding, and relieve poverty, sickness and human suffering.
