City University of Hong Kong is committed to providing quality higher education
to its students. We strive to produce a new breed of graduates who will excel
in their professions and possess a broad knowledge base to cope with the challenges
of a changing world.
The educational philosophy of the University emphasizes whole person development
so that students will receive ample opportunities to nurture both the “breadth”
(analytical and problem-solving skills, knowledge of the world) and “depth”
(subject knowledge and professional skills) of their minds. The University
also expects its graduates to have a high proficiency of English and Chinese
languages, as well as a good understanding of different cultures.
The University has a strong team of experienced academic staff with diverse
research interests and professional expertise. Supported by top quality teaching
and research facilities, City University provides students with an excellent
environment for learning and research. The physical environment, infrastructure
and teaching facilities have been adapted from time to time to create an ambiance
that encourages intellectual curiosity, social interaction, self-expression
and mutual support.
The University is proactive in reaching out to society and the world. It
has built up strong links with local and overseas universities and organizations
to develop collaboration in teaching and research. It has also developed close
links with industry and commerce for consultancy and technology transfer.
City University feels the pulse of society and is quick to respond to its
needs. While the University sees undergraduate education as its core competence,
it also places due emphasis on developing part-time programmes, especially
at the postgraduate level, to meet the growing demands of life-long learners
in an ever-changing society.
The University has achieved phenomenal growth since its establishment in
1984. To date, it has a student population of 26,045 enrolled in over 145
programmes at the associate degree, undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
The wide range of programmes is offered by three Colleges: Business, Humanities
and Social Sciences, Science and Engineering, the School of Creative Media,
the School of Energy and Environment, the School of Law, and the
Community College of City University. All bachelor’s degree and postgraduate programmes
are organized under the Colleges and the Schools. The School of Creative
Media, the School of Law, the Division of Building Science and Technology
and the Community College of City University run associate degree programmes.
The Chow Yei Ching School of Graduate Studies strengthens the operation and
development of all postgraduate programmes and fosters an ambiance for graduate
studies. The School of Continuing and Professional Education helps fulfil
the University’s role as a centre for life-long education by providing continuing
educational opportunities for the community through self-financing degree,
certificate and short programmes.
