Biography

Ken Wong was Head of HKU SPACE International College. He had his vision set on practising education with a ‘glocal’ synthesis and nudging internationalisation in higher education. Ken had responsibility for leading, promoting and implementing a global network of collaborations with academic and business organisations, as well as managing the strategic, academic, financial and branding aspects of the College. Ken had grown the College from around 300 full-time undergraduate students to a community of about 2,000 students.

During his academic career, Ken had developed several key initiatives in partnership, learning and community engagement. He spear-headed the University of Western Australia's joint BA programmes, Royal Central School of Speech and Drama executive education and more recently, two joint master’s programmes in collaboration with the University of the Arts London (UAL). The HKU SPACE-UAL (Central Saint Martins) programme in Arts and Cultural Enterprise is the first and the only overseas PG presence outside the UK in Central Saint Martins' 160 years of history.

Since 2004, Ken has given guest lectures and talks to a wide range of audiences in universities, institutes, think tanks and professional associations in HK, China, S. E. Asia, Australia and the UK.
