HKU SPACE has offered full-time programmes leading to sub-degree awards - Associate Degree, and Higher Diploma since the year 2000 when the School established the first Community College in Hong Kong. Sub-degree education provides an alternative study pathway for those secondary school graduates who could not enter university. Sub-degree graduates can have a second chance to continue their studies in a tertiary institution or start their career after graduation. In 2003, the School established the International College (formerly Centre for International Degree Programmes) to provide full-time top-up degrees for those Community College graduates who would like to pursue a bachelor degree awarded by public universities in the UK and Australia. The study programmes can be completed in Hong Kong without going overseas. In 2026, the Government amended the Post Secondary Colleges Ordinance (Cap 320). The University will take steps to comply with the new legislation so that the self-financed full-time sub-degree programmes offered by the HKU SPACE Community College can come under Cap 320 and also facilitate the development of degree programmes. Full details will be available in 2027. 9 Our Full-time Programmes
