 The University of Hong Kong (or HKU) is the oldest tertiary education institution in Hong Kong.

It was first incorporated in Hong Kong as a self-governing body of scholars by the University Ordinance on March 30, 1911.

On March 11, 1912, the university officially opened, with arts, engineering and medicine becoming its first faculties. The Faculty of Medicine evolved from the Hong Kong College of Medicine, founded in 1887.

After 1945, the university underwent structural developments as post-war reconstruction efforts began in earnest.
