Online Past Examination Papers Database (ExamBase) of the Libraries Accessible via HKU Portal

With the collaborative effort of the University Libraries (HKUL) and Computer Centre , the online ExamBase created and maintained by the University Libraries can now be accessed from the HKU Portal.

ExamBase, the first HKUL Digital Initiative, was created to give fast and easy access to past examination papers of the University of Hong Kong.  It contains examination papers from faculties of Architecture, Arts, Education, Engineering, Science, Social Sciences, and School of Business.  The chronology of the examination papers are: for Faculty of Medicine from 1961-Present, for Faculty of Law from 1971-Present, for Faculty of Dentistry from 1984-Present, and all other faculties from 1985-Present.

Only staff and students are allowed access to this database to search for the past examination papers via the HKU Portal at https://hkuportal.hku.hk (select the tab "Services" => under "Student Services", click "Past Examination Papers").  Alternatively, they can access ExamBase at the HKUL Digital Initiatives web site.

For further enquiry on access to this new service via the HKU Portal, please contact the undersigned.
