University (Chinese: 大學), formerly called Mid Levels West before 1994, was one of the 15 constituencies in the Central & Western District of Hong Kong.

It returned one member of the district council until it was abolished the 2023 electoral reforms.

The constituency was loosely based on the area around its namesake University of Hong Kong's Main Campus in Mid-Levels, with an estimated population of 18,029.

Boundaries

University constituency was roughly based on the western portion of the Mid-levels, bounded on the north by Bonham Road and on the west by Pok Fu Lam Road, except for a small section of the latter outside HKU's Jockey Club Student Village.

The constituency covered the whole of the University of Hong Kong's Main Campus as well as the student accommodations of St. John's College and Jockey Club Student Village.

Bordering University are the constituencies of Kwun Lung, Belcher, Water Street, Centre Street, Tung Wah, Castle Road and Peak, as well as the Pokfulam constituency of Southern District.
