倫敦大學學院
人類學

我的故事

「這些年我孜孜不倦，只為理解、發掘、體會世界的美好；嘗試帶來改變，讓身邊社群更臻完善。要認清真正的自己 — 不論是生理上，還是從社會、文化角度探究。這不單是書本上的口號，更是一個人即將蛻變的率真體現。世人常言的普世理論和共同目標，在許多人看來總是虛無縹緲 — 該說是一個個理想，還是可以實踐於世的政策和思維？我確信大同世界並非盡是空談，改變世界也非夢想家的專利，每一個細微的行動，把絕無僅有的物質文明、歷經千代的人類本質小心守護，不容時日沖散最後一點痕跡，才是我推崇的切實做法。我立志將人類學知識融會貫通於邁向全球化的數碼時代。科技文明的瞬息萬變為生活帶來許多獨特的精彩時刻，卻又建成重重隔膜，讓人們最真摯的本質漸被埋沒。現今網絡的便捷和跨界限的連繫，應當造福活在這世上的每一位，這是任何人都能輕描淡寫卻又重量十足的挑戰。

我盼望他日能在制度下發揮舉足輕重的影響，而人類學院作為倫敦大學學院中規模最大的研究所之一，定必能填補我對世界認知缺乏的碎片，開發未知的領域。就我對這社會和人性的獨到觀點和充分理解，我定必能夠拉近理想與現實的距離，讓一瞬之念終有日百花齊放。」

Shriya Srinivasan

ESF Renaissance College

Class of 2024

Choice of University

University College London
Anthropology

My Story

All I try to do is learn about, appreciate, and attempt to improve the world around me. I believe that understanding ourselves, on every level – biological, social, cultural – is not just a matter of knowledge but a matter of true, effective change. I want to translate abstract global aims to real culture and health policy impacts on communities. I hope to help preserve the fragile material culture and human facets that can easily disappear in a rapidly changing world. Eventually, I aim to apply anthropology to how society can adjust to an increasingly digitising and globalising world. Technology and modernisation makes our lives richer and fosters unique interactions, but often dilutes the communities and cultural adaptations that make us who we are. In the end, I believe that an efficient, interconnected world ought to serve everyone equally – and that is the ultimate challenge.

I hope that one day in the future, I can help massive institutions serve the individual better. A degree in Anthropology at one of the biggest research departments at UCL will allow me to encounter parts of the world I have never understood before. I aspire to be that link between ideation and action because of my unique, constant, and deep understanding of how people and societies function.

我的故事

「天文學家卡爾·薩根曾經說過：『在世界某個角落，有些不可思議的事物正在等待被發現。』正是這種情感驅使世世代代的科學家們，將他們的輝煌一生奉獻給探索和創新，也驅使我立志加入他們的行列。

香港大學-劍橋大學自然科學雙學位課程為我提供了一個全心研究、發現下一個『不可思議』的平台。我該與志同道合的同儕同行互勉，推動物理學的前沿，善用在兩個知名學府擁有的尖端技術。

通過發明和發現，我期望能加入偉大的前人，在世界和歷史上留下進步的痕跡，效力創科發展，並研究改善他人生活的技術。我希望將對理解宇宙的熱情轉化為切實的改變，相信這些抱負將在香港大學-劍橋大學自然科學雙學位課程中一一實現。」

法學學士

我的故事

「一位律師的立足之道在於他敏捷思維和應對能力。不久的將來，我將在法律的最前線游刃有餘地活用這些技能，在各種火線下捍衛公義。

倫敦國王學院之所以成為我的首選志願，皆因其踏實謙卑的態度與扎實的教育基礎相輔相成，讓我確信能取得必要的技能和堅實的學術基礎，他日在法庭上不只是如機械般搬弄知識，更是能活用批判思考和創造力發揮所長。

我的『抱負』並非特別耀眼，也稱不上是甚麼宏願；事實上，我的未來充滿許多無法預知的事。然而，我確信，我的多元才能和對事物的敏銳觸覺，加上國王學院法學院的全面教育，都能助我穩健立足，以應對和理解對法律訴訟體系的核心。」

我的故事

「笑聲有著美妙的神奇療效。一個人的笑聲可造就人的喜悅。朋友們的笑聲總能鼓舞我敞開心扉，與他人建立聯繫，漸漸變得快樂。我相信在加州大學洛杉磯分校(UCLA)的校園將會笑聲不斷，彼此相互支持，成就一切看似不可能的夢想。

我渴望能與一個開明且富有創意的團隊合作，創建一個無界限的社區，人們不再受到各種社會規範約束，而是能共融，欣賞大家在各方的付出和成就。在可見的將來，我希望通過跨越領域的合作，開發有用的醫療技術，讓人們不再受苦痛折磨，可以無時無刻開懷大笑。

在UCLA，我將擁有所有這些機會，甚至更多未知的驚喜；我將能夠探索不同技術，發掘對更多事物的熱情。這種自由定必能教我更深入地了解不同的世界觀，建立更全面的個人哲學，領吾真正的快樂泉源！」

我的故事

「治人必先治其心: 在病人最脆弱的時刻成為他們的支柱，引導他們接納治療、逐漸康復，正是推動我學習醫學的動力。昔日在療養院和安寧病房做義工，讓我意識到通過同情心傳播正能量的重要性。

能接受實用和倫理兼重的醫學教育，將完善我在醫療保健領域的表現和追求。我渴望利用不斷發展的醫學科技和團隊合作的協力增益，來造福社會各界的弱勢群體。我希望通過繼續我的志願工作和投身人道援助來實現這一目標。如今回想心理治療學家弗蘭克博士(Dr. Frankl)的話，終於深明其義：『人類要為一個值得追求的目標而掙扎、奮鬥。』對我來說，這個目標是便是改善病人的生活，也許是治愈，也許只是安慰，也將帶來温暖。治療時亦讓人心得以慰藉，這就是我想在社會上產生的影響。」

My Story

The way medicine is constantly evolving — pushing the boundaries of what's possible — completely captivates me.

And you know what? Harnessing empathy, dedication, and a collaborative mindset, I am determined to be a change maker in this field and conquer the challenges of tomorrow — from discovering innovative treatments and designing cutting-edge tech to advocating for policy reforms.

At the end of the day, medicine represents an opportunity to empathetically improve lives through both clinical work and academic research. And that's what motivates me to study medicine at HKU.

The opportunity to go above and beyond and tangibly improve the well-being of our community? You better believe I am going to make the most of it.

My Story

Carl Sagan once said, "Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known". It is this sentiment that drove scientists throughout history to dedicate their lives to discovery and innovation, and what drives me to join these scientists.

The HKU-Cambridge dual degree program in natural sciences provides me with a platform to research and discover the next "incredible" something. I envisage myself working with like-minded peers to push the frontier of physics, working with cutting-edge technology in two reputable institutions.

I want to leave a mark in the world through discovery, helping innovate and develop technologies that improve the lives of others. I hope to channel my passion for understanding the universe into tangible change, which I can achieve with the HKU-Cambridge dual degree program.

King's College London
Law

My Story

A lawyer’s bread and butter is his ability to think on his feet. One day I see myself employing this skill and many others at the first line of fire before a judge.

What cements King’s as my university of choice is its down-to-earth humility preceding such solid educational standing. Armed with the necessary skills and a strong academic foundation, I wish to apply myself critically and creatively in the courtroom.

My ‘ambitions’ are not particularly glamorous, nor are they grand; actually, I can’t entirely be sure of what my future holds. I am sure, nevertheless, that my versatility and acuity–and an LLB that the Dickson Poon School of Law will provide–all ground me in good stead to navigate and grasp the heart of the adversarial system.

My Story

Believing in yourself is the first step to achieving your dreams. I hope to enter the medical field as a doctor; not only to treat patients, but to heal them too. As I’ve always been a positive person, I’m determined to share this mindset with patients as I believe a positive mentality is crucial to a speedy recovery.

Although I’m still unsure of which specialism I will pursue, I am confident that I will gain a clearer understanding of my strengths and interests over time, so I can continue developing my skills to serve the public community. Medicine is a lifelong learning journey, and I am determined to commit to making my aspirations come true.

My journey has just begun, and I’m looking forward to what the future holds!

University of California Los Angeles

My Story

Laughter is beautifully therapeutic. One person’s laughter is everyone’s joy. Hearing my friends laugh inspires me to reach out, connect with others and cultivate happiness. I believe that laughter is abundant at UCLA, where everyone is supported to be anything they dream of.

I envision myself working with an open-minded and creative team to create a community where social boundaries are pushed and hard work is appreciated. Ultimately, I want to collaborate with others through interdepartmental projects to develop helpful medical technologies that will keep people laughing.

At UCLA, I’ll have all these opportunities and more. I’ll be able to explore other avenues and pursue other passions. Such freedom will allow me to glean more into different worldly perspectives and consolidate a more holistic personal philosophy.
