Academic content in depth
University Mathematics I is explicitly listed as a six-credit course in HKU Summer Institute’s catalogue, distinct from non-credit tasters. The 2027 entry lists in-person and online formats for corresponding stages such as S4–S6, Years 11–13 and Grades 10–12. Consult the full course syllabus for mathematical topics and assessment.
Classes, assignments and workload
The catalogue lists June 14–July 2 for 2027, with different non-local and local deadlines. Accommodation options have separately stated age conditions, so course eligibility does not establish residential eligibility. Online applicants should also check teaching times, submission deadlines and any compulsory live participation.
Eligibility and international applicants
The 2027 listing specifies S4–S6 / Year 11–13 / Grade 10–12 and accepts local and non-local students. Check the detailed course prerequisites and credit requirements.
Dates and costs
Schedule
June 14–July 2, 2027; the directory lists April 10 as the non-local application deadline.
Costs
Current full costs require verification. Check tuition, accommodation, meals, insurance and travel inclusions.
Fit and preparation
A fit for students with a solid mathematics foundation. Compare prerequisites, assessment and your intended use of the credits.
Application preparation
Compare your mathematics background with the syllabus, particularly notation, functions, reasoning and mathematical English. Practise turning a solution you can calculate into an argument you can explain. Provide school materials as requested; a course’s credit designation does not remove academic, language or prerequisite checks.
Choosing well and reflecting on outcomes
It may suit students ready for assessed, credit-bearing mathematics. Those primarily seeking a short campus taster should compare other formats. Earning credit depends on completion requirements, and later recognition depends on the receiving institution. Preserve the syllabus, feedback and official academic record.
Frequently asked questions
Does attendance alone earn six credits?
No. Check the course’s assessment and completion requirements.
Can I use the housing age rule as course eligibility?
No. Course-stage requirements and housing age conditions must be checked separately.
Is this equivalent to all other HKU summer courses?
No. The catalogue includes both credit-bearing and non-credit offerings.
