Marco Ng
Faculty of Education
BSc(IM) 2025
Marco Ng (BSc(IM) 2025) graduated from the Faculty of Education with a Bachelor of Science in Information Management. This achievement means a lot to Marco, as he has been on a unique and challenging journey since he was little.
Diagnosed with severe hearing loss at the age of two, Marco has always had to go the extra mile for things as simple as listening to others. Growing up, with the help of hearing aids and sign language interpretation services, he was able to communicate with those around him. However, the COVID-19 years were especially challenging, as wearing masks made it impossible for him to read lips.
Yet, Marco’s disability has also brought unexpected opportunities. He was cast by director Adam Wong in a leading role in the film “The Way We Talk,” which explores the identity of the deaf community. His performance earned him a nomination for Best New Performer at the Hong Kong Film Awards.
After graduation, Marco is determined to pursue his dream of becoming the first deaf lawyer in HK. Marco believes that his disability is never a hurdle, but rather a source of strength.
