University of Hong Kong
The University of Hong Kong (HKU) is a public research university in Hong Kong. Founded in 1911, its origins trace back to the Hong Kong College of Medicine for Chinese, which was founded in 1887. It is the oldest tertiary institution in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong University Students' Union
The Union was established in 1912 when it was first named as the Hong Kong University Union (HKUU), some two years after the foundation of the University of Hong Kong. The Union was then reorganised and renamed as the Hong Kong University Students' Society (HKUSS) after the Second World War in 1945. In 1949, the Union submitted a successful application for becoming a student organisation to the Hong Kong Police.
