003 William K. M. Lee 李經文 Director 院長 Message from the Director 院長序言 The University’s Strategic Plan for 2026 to 2035 maintains its commitment to developing and extending lifelong learning opportunities to the wider community and the School will strive to fulfill this commitment. It is dedicated to excellence in teaching, learning, innovation, and social responsibility. Building on previous strategic efforts, the School is ready to embrace the challenges and opportunities brought by rapid technological advancements, particularly generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI), and the evolving needs of society. The School’s 2025-2030 Strategic Plan, released in July 2025, outlines seven directions—including technology, GBA development, internationalisation, and more—to drive continued educational excellence. The School has enhanced its curricula to incorporate AI-related content, now offering nearly 60 courses in AI. It was honoured to have received the "e-brand Awards 2025 – Best AI Education Institution" from e-zone, a reputable digital media platform of the Hong Kong Economic Times Group. This accolade acknowledges the School’s exceptional accomplishments and leadership in the field of AI education. The recognition is closely aligned with our strategic direction of “Embracing Technology,” and represents an important milestone for HKU SPACE in promoting excellence and innovation within AI education. In addition, the School has once again been honored with the “Recognised Organisation” award at the UNSDG Achievement Awards Hong Kong 2025, hosted by the Green Council. This achievement reflects our unwavering commitment to “ESG: Committing to Corporate Citizenship”—a key strategic direction of our 2025-30 Strategic Plan. As we move forward, we will promote sustainable practices, foster a culture of respect and inclusivity, and ensure good governance and transparency. Our Community College has reached a new high in full-time enrolment, with over 13,000 students currently enrolled. Our joint venture with Po Leung Kuk, HPSHCC, has an enrolment of 3,000 students, resulting in a combined total of 16,000 students. This makes HKU SPACE the largest provider of sub-degree programmes in Hong Kong. Facilities within the Kowloon Bay Cluster have been expanded to support student development. Alongside our local initiatives, HKU SPACE is also expanding its footprint in the Chinese Mainland. We have established a partnership with the School of Continuing Education of Northwestern Polytechnical University (NPU) for the Diploma in Foundation Studies (E-learning mode) programme. The Inauguration Ceremony for the programme was held in September 2025, at the Zhihui Port in Taicang, near Shanghai, marking a significant milestone in educational collaboration, and facilitating articulation to HKU SPACE subdegree programmes. To support varied learning needs in the GBA, the School is launching fulltime Postgraduate Diploma (PgD) programmes as well as workshops, seminars, and online courses for participants from Hong Kong and Chinese Mainland. These initiatives blend local and global perspectives to help participants grow professionally and improve their lives. The first full-time PgD cohort will begin in January 2026. In line with our efforts to enhance student experience, the School launched the HKU SPACE Chatbot on the website and mobile app in November 2025. The digital assistant offers immediate responses to questions regarding programmes and events. Utilising generative AI, the Chatbot facilitates communication and allows users to access information at any time, aligning with efforts to integrate technology and enhance usability. On the international front, we have partnered with Temasek Polytechnic in Singapore and renewed our agreements with Manchester Metropolitan University and Ulster University, reinforcing our commitment to academic collaboration. This Spring 2026 Prospectus contains many new and interesting programme developments, and I hope that readers will find courses that inspire them and meet their lifelong learning needs. 香港大學的「2026-2035十年策略發展計劃」繼續致力為廣大社群開拓終身 學習機會，學院將全力履行這項承諾，在教學、學習、創新及社會責任方面 達致卓越水平。建基於過往的策略成果上，學院已作好充分準備，迎接科 技快速發展（特別是生成式人工智能）及社會需求不斷變化所帶來的挑戰和 機遇。學院在2025年7月發佈的「2025-2030年策略發展計劃」提出了七大 發展方向，包括善用科技提升教學體驗、大灣區發展、課程國際化等等，以 持續推動卓越教育。 為優化課程內容，我們已將人工智能納入課程框架，並已開設近60門人工 智能相關的課程。學院十分榮幸，在今年首度榮獲香港《經濟日報》集團旗 下知名數碼媒體平台e-zone頒發「e世代品牌大獎2025—最佳AI課程學院」 獎項。這項榮譽彰顯了我們在人工智能教育領域的傑出成就與領導地位， 亦與學院「擁抱科技」的策略方向高度契合，更是學院推動優質與創新人工 智能教育的重要里程碑。 此外，學院本年度再次榮獲環保促進會頒發「聯合國可持續發展目標香港成 就獎」之「認可機構」獎項。「環保、社會與管治：實踐企業公民責任」是學院 2025-2030年策略發展計劃的核心方針，這項殊榮印證了我們對此方針的 堅定承諾。展望未來，我們將繼續推廣可持續實踐行動、培育尊重與包容 的學院文化，並確保完善管治與透明度。 在這個新學年，附屬學院的全日制學生人數創下新高，目前有逾13,000名 學生在讀；港大保良何鴻燊社區書院現有3,000名學生，兩院校合共學生人 數達16,000。這數字讓我們成為全港最大的副學位課程提供機構。為配合 學生發展需要，九龍灣區教學中心的設施已完成擴建。 除了香港地區的發展，學院正將教學版圖擴展至內地。我們已與西北工業 大學繼續教育學院建立夥伴關係，攜手推出「基礎專上教育文憑（線上學習 模式）」課程，課程啟動禮已於2025年9月在鄰近上海的太倉智匯港圓滿舉 行，為兩地教育合作豎立了重要里程碑，並為內地學生銜接學院副學位課 程提供了有效途徑。 為滿足大灣區人士的多元化學習需要，學院將推出全日制深造文憑 (研究生 文憑) 課程，並開設工作坊、研討會及網上課程。這些項目融合本地及環球 視野，有助參加者實現專業發展及生活提升。首屆全日制深造文憑 (研究生 文憑)課程將於2026年1月開課。 學院一直致力提升學生體驗，我們在2025年11月於學院網站及流動應用 程式上同步推出HKU SPACE智能助理，即時回應有關課程和活動的查詢。 為達致整合科技與提高易用性的目標，我們透過生成式人工智能技術促進 與用戶的溝通，讓用戶可以隨時獲取所需資訊。 在國際化的層面上，我們已與新加坡淡馬錫理工學院建立合作夥伴關係， 並與英國曼徹斯特都會大學及阿爾斯特大學簽訂新合作協議，進一步鞏固 我們對學術合作的承諾。 2026年春季課程手冊收錄了許多全新及有趣的課程。我衷心希望你能得到 啟發，找到適合的課程，以滿足你追求終身學習的願望。
