Foreword by the Director

Professor William Lee
Director, HKU SPACE

The global education dimension has always been a significant feature of the work of HKU SPACE dating back to the 1950s. Hence, over the past 60 years HKU SPACE has accumulated rich experience in offering overseas degrees in Hong Kong. It is evident that in the 21st century, education must take on a global perspective. HKU SPACE International College aims to nurture “Education with a Global Vision” and this Vision is permeated through both the School’s part-time and full-time programmes.

The International College (formerly ‘Centre for Degree Programmes’) was established in 2003 with a central mission to offer full-time programmes in collaboration with reputable overseas universities to provide a pathway to university education for local sub-degree graduates and increasingly high school graduates.

Over the past decades we have worked and developed excellent relationships with many highly respected world-renowned institutions, including University of London, The University of Western Australia and University of the Arts London (Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design and London College of Communication). Together, we have developed and offered high quality undergraduate and postgraduate programmes to Hong Kong students. Currently, the School has about 35 overseas institutional collaborations offering some 136 academic programmes.

HKU SPACE, under a new Internationalization Strategy, will heighten its global exposure and proactively pursue collaborations with highly regarded overseas partners to provide niche programmes of high academic quality and of high demand to Hong Kong learners.
