Mission
To nurture and develop the talents of students and to create applicable knowledge in order to support social and economic advancement.
The Strategic Plan
The Strategic Plan reflects City University’s unswerving commitment to realise its vision through academic excellence. It maps out City University’s strategic direction
for the next five years. It identifies principles, goals and strategies to fully exploit our distinctive academic strengths and competitive advantages, and to elevate
our research and professional education programmes to a level commensurate with City University’s aspirations.
The Strategic Plan is a roadmap for leadership. It articulates City University’s vision of educating a new breed of professional and leaders for our knowledge-based society by creating a new approach to professional education for the new century. This new kind of professional education emphasises the connectivity between society and knowledge, the internationalisation of curriculum design, innovative problem-driven research, and the multicultural diversity of faculty and students. It reflects the reality of our increasing global interdependence and the rapid development of the Mainland. It underscores City University’s aspirations and determination to become a premier international university for outstanding research and professional education in the region. It also affirms our commitment to excellence by ensuring the teaching and research that constitute our professional education will be conducted by outstanding international faculty, and distinguished by their innovation, impact, and quality.
The Strategic Plan is the outcome of numerous rounds of consultation, discussion and revision at all levels, including faculty, students, alumni, the University Council, and the employers of our graduates. City University anticipates cognate planning processes in every College and School, and in the administration of the University, to translate the high-level vision, values, principles and goals of the Strategic Plan into focused, shorter-term strategies and operational plans to implement our priorities, consistent with City University’s vision of providing premier professional education and pursuing excellence in research.
