Five outstanding Master of Social Sciences in Sustainability Leadership and Governance (SLG) students are graduating with the Facebook Scholarship in Public Policy and Sustainability Leadership and the Centre for Civil Society and Governance Scholarship (CCSG Scholarship) in recognition of their exceptional academic achievement.
The discission forum was successfully held on 30th August 2025 at The University of Hong Kong, bringing together over 120 young talents from AmCham’s Future Leaders Program, and students and graduates from HKU’s MSocSc Sustainability Leadership and Governance programme to learn from sustainability experts and business professionals the driving factors as well as challenges in attaining meaningful and lasting sustainability change.
On 30 August 2025, the Centre for Civil Society and Governance hosted an engaging orientation at Bijas— a vegetarian restaurant on campus that adheres to inclusive employment and food waste reduction—to welcome the 2025-26 cohort of the MSocSc in Sustainability Leadership & Governance (SLG) programme. This event served as a valuable opportunity for incoming students to connect with their classmates and teachers, and gain essential information to prepare for their academic journey.
Dr. Vivian Chu, SLGP Co-Director, invited Jennifer Mok, Founder of PureBamboo (SLGP Alumni 2021) to join her for an interview on RTHK’s Climate Watcher. Jennifer’s sharing offers a glimpse of the ways in which the programme supports entrepreneurs in developing their businesses and the challenges that are faced by sustainability enterprises.
We are thrilled to announce Dr Winnie Law and Dr Vivian Chu as the new Co-Directors of our MSocSc in Sustainability Leadership and Governance.
Looking for a career where you can make a difference, then this is for you.
The demand for sustainability professionals keeps growing! There’s increasing pressure on individuals to make decisions and act, both individually and collectively to make the urgent change our society and planet needs. No matter where your training and expertise lies, you can advance policy, build capacity, mobilize and empower for sustainable development.
During the session, CPA Australia HK team kicked off a meaningful discussion on the latest happenings in ESG and reporting frameworks. Followed by discussion on application of ESG in business and unique skill sets that trained professionals would have with our alumni.
During the session, our alumni shared valuable insights about the skills they acquired during their time in the programme and how they have applied these skills in their current workplaces.
There is growing recognition that sustainability is necessary in everything we do, and more examples of various functional roles integrating accountability into organizational systems are becoming evident. The SLG Programme offers you multiple ways to integrate sustainability into your career path empowering you to make a difference on bigger, critical issues our communities face.
Join us for a discussion with our alumni who will share their experience with integrating the values of sustainability into what they do, and how they see themselves contributing to societal well-being.
