  • Full-time, part-time and summer vacancy advertisements are posted up on the notice boards at the Centre and 6 other locations on the campus.
  • You can also access job information online or at any HKU networked computer terminals (for HKU students only).

  • The Placement Service helps you to find out about graduate employers and actual job opportunities and provides assistance for your job search.
