colleges for programmes offered in Hong Kong. Separately, the School has been pleased to collaborate with King’s College London to o er a MSc in Nursing as the irst of potentially a number of other degree awards. Following what is now a well established precedent, the School organised Open SPACE 2024 on 8 June 2024 with both online and on-site participation. Highlights included keynote talks on Family Of ices, Chinese Medicine and Dietetics and from the Japanese Consul-General in Hong Kong. In addition more than 80 talks were delivered across four main Themes - Market Trends, Profession and Career, Wellness and Health and Languages and Culture. More than 1,300 attended the Admiralty Learning Centre whilst online participation exceeded 4,500. As can be seen from the reports from Colleges which follow, there have been numerous initiatives to extend our range of services and support to students. This also includes improvements to our physical provision in our learning centres and I am pleased to report that we are extending our facilities in the Kowloon Bay area to support Community College operations and planning a centre at Sheung Shui to serve the Northern New Territories as well as potential cross-border demand. Finally, the School was pleased to receive, from the Of ice of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data, a gold Privacy Friendly Award in recognition of our e orts to be an organisation with good data privacy policies and practices.

In 2023/24 the School offered more than 1,700 CEF eligible courses and is by far the largest such provider. We will continue the e orts to lead in this area to better serve our students. The year 2023/24 also marked the 20th Anniversary of the School’s International College which was established in 2003/4 to offer through train routes for sub-degree students to complete undergraduate degree studies o ered by over 20 overseas partner universities. During that 20-year period there have been more than 9,000 graduates in a wide range of disciplines and, while numbers have declined somewhat given more locally available degree places and the introduction of the student voucher scheme for Cap 320 institutions, the College still provides valuable articulation routes for our subdegree graduates. In terms of overseas partner universities, the School was pleased to emphasise its links with the University of London which go back over 60 years.
