Description
HKU Theses Online is the University of Hong Kong’s authoritative digital archive for higher degree theses, accessible through the HKU Scholars Hub. Established on the DSpace platform in 2005, it currently hosts more than 33,000 ETDs, dating back to 1941. Following a university senate policy enacted in 2001, all postgraduate research theses are deposited electronically and made openly available. The platform supports robust discovery via author, department, and submission metadata, and offers RSS feeds for subscribers. As a cornerstone of HKU’s open-access infrastructure, HKU Theses Online ensures long-term preservation, discoverability, and scholarly visibility for the university’s postgraduate research output.
