Summary
A one-page quick-reference table covering HKU's year of foundation, faculties, student and staff numbers, campus, QS/THE rankings, finances and donations.
A one-page quick-reference of key numbers. All figures are time-sensitive and subject to differing methodologies — see the bracketed source documents for details. Student, staff and finance figures are taken from HKU's "Quick Stats" (page states as at April 2026, 2025/26 academic year basis).
◆ Key point
A few numbers to remember at a glance: Founded 1911※ 10※ 45,000※ 55.3%※ 11th※ 2nd※ ; cumulative alumni ~310,000※
◆ Disputed
All figures in this table are subject to methodological differences and time-sensitivity : HKU's taught postgraduate (TPg) population is very large (over 20,000), comparable to undergraduates (about 20,000), so "total students" is far higher than the undergraduate-only figure. Rankings, fees and finances change year by year. Always verify against the latest official release and note the statistical year for each column.
