I wished to study PhD to pursue something different and to give me a chance to contribute to the field of healthcare. I also wanted to continue exploring different cultures… and positively impact the world.

Faculty of Social Sciences
Recipient of Hon Ping Entrance Scholarship for Nigerian Students
Coming to Hong Kong was such a big thing... Although studying in HKU can be intensive, I believe HK provided better opportunities as a whole. Many from my background aren’t able to sponsor themselves to study abroad. Without the scholarship, I wouldn’t have been able to come to HK – it was a stepping stone for me to see beyond... giving me an opportunity to do my best... and give back to others.
Choosing to remain in Hong Kong after completing her studies, Semiat aims to embark on a marketing and communications field that leverages her interdisciplinary education and mathematics expertise.
