香港大學(The University of Hong Kong)是香港歷史最悠久的高等學府,其前身是香港西醫書院(Hong Kong College of Medicine),創立于1887年。香港大學的建立應當歸功于當地政府及一些中國南方企業的資金援助及支持。香港大學的校訓是“明德格物”(意為“智慧與美德”),該校使用英語作為教學語言。香港大學是中國乃至世界上最著名的學府之一。
The University of Hong Kong (HKU) is the oldest institution of higher education in Hong Kong. It was formerly known as the Hong Kong College of Medicine, founded in 1887. The founding of HKU should be owed to the financial assistance and support of the local government and some enterprises in Southern China. The motto of HKU is “Sapientia Et Virtus”, and its official language of instruction is English. HKU is one of the most famous colleges in China as well as the whole world.
