2024 Spring Prospectus

003 William K. M. Lee 李經文 Director 院長 Message from the Director 院長序言 I am delighted to announce that, in relation to the International Quality Review, the German Agency ASIIN has now confirmed that our institutional accreditation seal has been extended for 5 years until 30 September 2028. This confirms that HKU SPACE fulfils the institutional, procedural and cultural requirements for good teaching and successful learning. The experts commended that “HKU SPACE’s institutional leadership is particularly strong, and the institution is procedurally rigorous.” We are committed to innovative teaching and learning and have been in e-learning to enhance students’ learning experiences. The School transformed its Island South Pokfulam campus into a technology hub “TechnoSPACE” to support disciplines such as aviation, e-sports, geotechnical engineering, and biomedical science. We are very grateful for Ms Ginny Man's generous support for biomedical education and have named the biomedical science laboratory after her. Our Microcredential offer increased to over 200 courses. Starting from October 2023, Microcredential digital badges will be available for viewing on the SOUL 3.0 platform and downloading by awardees who, since 13 April 2023, have completed Certificate for Module programmes designated as Microcredentials and during the five-year period prior to that date. More details can be found at www.hkuspace.hku.hk/ microcredentials. On full-time education, admission and enrolment numbers were again higher for our Community College this year, despite the demographic decline. International College also celebrated its 20th anniversary in July. It will work closely with international partners to provide top-up degrees and alternative articulation pathways for students. I am also happy to share that we have upgraded our HKU SPACE website with many new features to provide a better experience. The webpage menu has been reorganised to make it easier to find the information you need. With interest categories and event information right on the first page, it is easier to explore these sections and stay up-to-date with the latest offerings. Additional information such as teacher profiles, academic progression, and career prospects have been added in the programme pages to give you a deeper understanding of our programmes. Finally, the School received its first-ever Gold Award in the “PrivacyFriendly Awards 2023”. Organised by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD), these awards aim to recognise organisations, both public and private, as well as government departments, for their outstanding commitment to protecting personal data privacy. This achievement showcases our unwavering commitment and ongoing efforts in implementing strong data governance practices through our Personal Data Privacy Management Programme. I would also like to conclude that starting from this issue, our prospectus will be disseminated via our website and social media. Please do browse the e-version to find the courses that will interest you and/or help you to progress in your career. 我很榮幸地宣佈,有關德國工程、信息科學、自然科學和數學專業認證 機構(ASIIN)協助學院進行的國際學術質素評審,確認學院在機構、程 序及文化方面,已達到良好教學及成功學習的要求,由ASIIN向學院頒 授的機構認證標誌獲延續五年至2028年9月30日。評審專家讚揚,「香 港大學專業進修學院在機構領導層面尤其優秀,而且在執行上嚴謹縝 密」。 我們在教與學上致力創新,並一直在電子教學方面努力,以提升學 生的學習體驗。學院港島南薄扶林分校已被打造成創新科技中心 「TechnoSPACE」,用作支援航空、電子競技、土力工程及生物醫學科學 等學科課程。為感謝文頴怡小姐對生物醫學教育的慷慨捐助,我們以其 名字為生物醫學實驗室命名。 學院提供的微證書課程數目已增至超過200。在2023年4月13日及在 此日期前五年內已完成指定微證書單元課程的人士,可於2023年10月 起在SOUL 3.0 平台上查閱並下載微證書數碼徽章。詳情可瀏覽:www. hkuspace.hku.hk/microcredentials。 在全日制課程方面,面對中學畢業生人數減少,香港大學附屬學院在 2023/24學年的入學和報名人數仍有所增加。國際學院亦在7月舉行了 創校20周年慶典,並將繼續與國際夥伴緊密合作,為學生提供銜接學位 課程及其他升學途徑。 我亦很高興告訴大家,香港大學專業進修學院的網站已經升級,並新增 多項功能,讓您獲得更佳的瀏覽體驗。我們重新組織了網頁目錄,令您 更容易找到所需資料;我們亦於主頁新增興趣分類和活動信息,讓您更 方便快捷地找到心儀學科及了解最新的活動資訊。課程頁面上也增加了 導師簡介、升學途徑和職業前景等資料,讓您對課程有更深入了解。 最後,學院首次榮獲2023年度「私隱之友嘉許獎」金獎。該獎項由個人 資料私隱專員公署頒發,旨在表揚及嘉許企業、公私營機構及政府部門 對保障個人資料私隱的重視及努力。學院透過個人資料私隱管理系統實 施良好數據管治,是次獲獎顯示了我們對這方面的堅定承諾和持續努 力。 我也想總結一下,由這一期開始,我們將通過學院網站及社交平台發佈 課程手冊。我誠意希望各位瀏覽我們的電子版本,以查閱您感興趣或能 幫助您在事業上取得進展的課程。
