Lai Sze Fat, European Studies (French stream) graduate was awarded the Hong Kong Scholarship for Excellence (21/08/2015)

2015 is a brilliant year for our fresh graduate Lai Sze Fat! Not only, he was accepted by the prestigious University College London (UCL) to do a MScUrban Design & City Planning but he also received the Hong Kong Scholarship for Excellence to pursue his postgraduate studies. He will receive HK$250,000 to help him cover tuition fees and other expenses during his year abroad. This new scheme - which drew more than 600 applicants and rewarded 78 elite Hong Kong students "aims to support local students who have excellent academic achievement but lack the financial means to study in top-notch universities outside" indicates the Education Bureau on its webpage. The thinking behind the scholarship is to get back top students with global vision and world-class education to contribute to Hong Kong.

Mr. Lai Sze Fat matches perfectly this profile. Indeed, during his Bachelor degree at Baptist University from which he graduated with First Class & Academic Honours, Mr. Lai Sze Fat spent one year in one of the most renowned 'Grandes Ecoles' in France, Sciences Po Paris and he will now complete his Master degree in England. There is no doubt that, with the knowledge and the skills he had and will gain, with the intellectual, intercultural and human qualities he had and will nurture abroad, he will come back as a better citizen and he will be able to achieve his career goal - become a competent urban planner to serve his city - and make a better Hong Kong.

We would like here to congratulate again our student and wish him all the best for the future.

The outstanding presentation of our student – Megalopolis Construction in the Pearl River Delta (Construction d’une mégalopole du Delta de la Rivière des Perles in French) - was welcomed by Servane GANDAIS, Attaché for Educational & Linguistics Affairs at the French Consulate in HK & Macao and member of the jury in the interview: 'Ken is a student who feels confident and comfortable in French. He is very charismatic, with a presence on stage that made him stand out from other candidates (…) His angle of analysis and presentation was very academic but also very personal. I think he is genuinely interested in urbanism and this is what, I believe, seduced the jury.'.

World Eminent Persons Programme : Ambassador Marc Menguy

Ambassador Menguy delivered two lectures (October 3 and 8, 2013) under the auspices of the World Eminent Persons Programme, financed by the Lee Hysan Foundation. The Programme was initiated in 2008, aiming to invite prominent personalities in different sectors from all over the world to give intellectually inspiring talks to all members within our university community, so as to broaden their horizon, enrich their knowledge on international affairs, promote better understanding of the outside world, and stimulate their thinking.

Ambassador Menguy was posted in Hong Kong from 1959 to 1963, and took part in the process of the establishment of diplomatic relations between France and the People's Republic of China in 1964. Then he worked in the French Embassy in Beijing until 1967, and experienced the tumultuous Cultural Revolution. He was later posted in Indonesia and USA, opened the French Embassy in Hanoi in 1976, and became French Ambassador in Laos. Subsequently, he was appointed as Director of the French Institute in Taipei. So he had the chance to be posted in all the three major cities in Greater China: Hong Kong, Beijing and Taipei.
