I am very pleased to note that 2024/25 was another highly successful year for HKU SPACE. Full-time student enrolments were particularly strong, which bodes well for the future alongside the steady part-time student enrolments. The School was able to return another sound inancial performance. This broad-based success re lects the sustained hard work undertaken by colleagues throughout the organisation. A notable development during the year was the preparation of the School’s Strategic Plan for the ive-year period to 2030. Since this will be described elsewhere in this Annual Report, I will simply say that the Board of Directors was enthusiastic in supporting the Plan. 本人欣然看到，香港大學專業進修學院在 2024/25年度繼續表現卓越。我們的全日制課 程收生人數增長強勁，加上兼讀制學生人數保持 穩定，為學院未來發展奠定良好基礎，也使學院 的財務再度有亮眼表現。學院在本年度取得全面 成功，正是全體同事努力不懈的成果。 本年度學院的一項重要工作是，我們已擬定 《20252030年發展策略》，並得到董事局的大 力支持。本周年報告的其他章節將對此計劃進行 詳述。 Moreover, I should also report that the University’s Vision for 20262035 maintains its commitment to developing and extending lifelong learning opportunities to the wider community which is very much the HKU SPACE Mission which it delivers so well on behalf of the University. My past few Introductions have all mentioned the Government’s reform of the Post Secondary Colleges Ordinance, Cap 320. The good news is that the legislative process has at last been completed, some seven years since completion of the review which prompted the changes. However, that is not the end of the story since, in the course of the Legislative Council scrutiny, the Secretary for Education stated that it was not mandatory for the self- inanced units of UGC-funded universities o ering full-time degree or sub-degree programmes for school-leavers to migrate to the reformed legislation. The School will therefore assess the implications of this for advice to the Board of Directors and the University. Fortunately there is time for this as Cap 320 does not come into e ect until August 2026 and then allows a two-year period for migration. I am sure that I will be returning to these matters in the 2025/26 Annual Report, hopefully for the last time! Finally, I should record my customary thanks to the Board of Directors during 2024/25. As well as our ive Board meetings there were other committees, meetings, retreats and presentations that members attended physically or virtually. Their contributions are an important part of our corporate governance and are much appreciated. I am grateful to the directors who retired during 2024/25 and welcome the new directors appointed during the year to take their places. Many thanks to all! 此外，香港大學在其《展望十年20262035》 中，繼續堅定承諾，致力為社會各界人士開拓和 擴展終身學習機會，而這正是香港大學專業進修 學院的使命。一直以來，學院始終秉持專業精 神，為大學踐行這項使命。 在過去幾份周年報告的序言中，我們均有提及政 府對《專上學院條例》（第320章）的改革。這項 修訂案檢討工作歷經七年後，終於在本年度完成 立法程序，無疑是一大喜訊。 然而，此議題尚未結束。在立法會審議過程中， 教育局局長表示，大學教育資助委員會資助大學 的附屬自資部門，若為中學畢業生提供全日制學 位或副學位課程，則無須強制根據修訂的專上學 院條例註冊。為此，學院將就此法案進行評估， 並向�事局及大學提交建議。由於第320章註 冊條例在2026年8月1 日生效後設有兩年過渡 期，我們尚有時間處理相關事宜。 我相信，在明年2025/26的周年報告中，將是 最後一次就此議題作出報告。 最後，我謹向2024/25年度的各位董事局委員 致謝，他們除了積極參與五次董事局會議外，亦 親身或透過網上出席支持其他委員會、會議、集 思會及演講。他們的貢獻是我們企業管治的重要 組成部分，非常值得稱許。我亦衷心感謝在本年 度卸任的董事局委員，同時歡迎新任委員履新。 謹向各位致上誠摯謝意！ Professor Ian Holliday ⡦用➋來䱇 HKU SPACE ANNUAL REPORT 2024/25 CHAIRMAN’S INTRODUCTION主席序言 HKU SPACE ANNUAL REPORT 2024/25 CHAIRMAN’S INTRODUCTION主席序言 CHAIRMAN’S INTRODUCTION 主席序言 2 3

As the Chairman has stated, it was a relief inally to see the enactment of the Cap 320 Reforms and we will assess the implications for advice to the Board of Directors and the University on the way forward during 2025/26. The School is a leading provider of sub-degree programmes in the self- inanced sector with about one third of the total of new student admissions in 2024/25 according to Education Bureau Statistics. Our numbers have continued to increase year on year despite the falling secondary school leaver population which is a testament to the quality of our programmes and the success of our students in progressing to degree places on graduation with our Associate Degree or Higher Diploma, usually with credit exemption for two of the necessary four years of study. We were pleased to receive the Board’s endorsement of our Strategic Plan for 20252030 and anticipate a busy few years ahead. The principal features are a continuation of the 4Ps – Positioning, Productivity, Partnership and Potential. These are foundations for the plan and are underpinned by 7 strategic directions: 1. Programme Diversity 2. Teaching Excellence 3. Application of technological advances, especially AI 4. Development in the Greater Bay Area 5. Internationalisation 6. Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) 7. Supporting and Empowering Collaborating Institutions These 7 foci will guide us in the coming years and the Plan will be reviewed and updated at the halfway point in early 2028. Full details can be accessed at https://hkuspace.hku.hk/discover/about/ hku-space-strategic-plan-20252030. In particular the School has identi ied “Contributing to Human Capital Development in the GBA” as a key strategy in the 20252030 Strategic Plan. This initiative aims to elevate the quality and competitiveness of human resources in the region, thereby catalysing economic growth and integration within the GBA. In a demonstration of this commitment, the School has built a dedicated web page to centralise the latest information on programmes and activities. Moreover, the Mainland Affairs Of ice was established in August 2024 to reinforce connections between the School and other institutions, enterprises and individuals in the Chinese Mainland. The annual statistics reported in the Statistics section set out the School’s records for 2024/25, and it is encouraging to see that full time enrolments, measured in full time equivalents, grew from 11,935 in 2023/24 to 14,231 in 2024/25. This was principally in our subdegree programmes. Our part time enrolments, covering a wide range of programmes from foundation level to postgraduate and from short courses to year–long programmes were some 7,796 full time equivalents covering 43,128 students. All of this activity contributed to a strong inancial performance by the School in 2024/25 which enables further investment in facilities and programmes to meet the community’s lifelong learning needs. I am pleased to record good progress on incorporating AI in our various curricula spanning both full-time and part-time programmes, as appropriate to ensure students are introduced to the proper and ethical use of AI. We are also incorporating AI tools in our daily work to improve eªiciency and responsiveness. 誠如主席所言，第320章修訂法案終於得以頒 佈，的確令人欣慰。我們將評估改革法案所帶來 的影響，並於2025/26年度就學院未來發展方 向向董事局及大學提交建議。 根據教育局統計數據，在自資界別中，本學院提 供副學位課程的數目位在前列，錄取新生人數佔 2024/25學年總數的三分之一。儘管中學畢業生 人數持續下降，我們的招生規模卻在逐年增長。 這充分印證了學院提供優質課程，以及副學士或 高級文憑畢業同學升讀學位課程成功率高――他 們一般可獲豁免四年必修科中的兩年學分。 我們很高興董事局通過了學院的《20252030年 發展策略》，並準備迎接未來數年的繁忙日子。五 年發展策略的核心在於延續4P的策略主題―― 學院定位（Positioning）、生產力（Productivity）、 夥伴關係（Partnership）及發展潛力（Potential）。 4P是為《發展策略》的基礎原則，包括了以下七 大策略方向： 1. 課程多元 2. 卓越教學 3. 擁抱先進科技，尤以人工智能為重 4. 大灣區發展 5. 國際化 6. 環境、社會與管治 7. 支援並促進合作院校發展 這七大重點方向將引領我們邁向未來發展道路。 《發展策略》將於2028年年初進行中期檢討與 更新，完整版本請參閱：https://hkuspace. hku.hk/discover/about/hku-spacestrategic-plan-20252030。特別值得一提的 是，學院已將「促進大灣區人力資本發展」列為 《20252030發展策略》的核心項目。此舉旨在 提升亞太區人力資源的質素與競爭力，從而推 動大灣區的經濟增長與區域融合。為實踐這項 目標，學院已設立大灣區專屬網頁，集中整合各 項課程與活動的最新資訊。此外，為配合學務發 展，我們在2024年8月成立了內地事務處，以 強化學院與中國內地其他機構、企業及人士的 聯繫網絡。 本報告的統計數據章節中列出了學院在2024/ 25學年的學生數字，其中全日制報讀人次（以 相等於全日制學員人數計算）由2023/24學年 的11,935 增加至2024/25 學年的14,231，升 幅近20%，主要來自副學位課程，成績令人鼓 舞。我們的兼讀制課程涵蓋廣泛，由基礎至研究 生程度、由短期至全年修業期，學生人數共達 43,128，以相等於全日制學員人數計算為7,796。 這項驕人成績為學院2024/25年度的財務帶來 亮麗表現，同時讓我們能夠進一步提升教學設 施與課程項目，以滿足社會對終身學習的需求。 為實踐擁抱科技的承諾，學院已將人工智能納入 於不同的全日制及兼讀制課程之中，並取得良好 進展。我們根據實際情況，確保學生正確及合乎 道德地使用人工智能。學院亦將人工智能工具融 入日常工作中，以提升效率與應變能力。 Professor William K.

In terms of investment for the future, I can report that during the year we commenced work on 3 new learning centres for the 2025/26 academic year. Two of these were in the Kowloon Bay area (Kingston International Centre and Exchange Tower) which will support our expanded full-time student numbers and one in Sheung Shui (SPOT) to serve the Northen New Territories as well as participants from Shenzhen. We were also granted lease extensions for 10 years by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China for the Kowloon East Campus and Island South (Pokfulam) Campus. In addition, the hybrid working scheme continued to operate well and allowed some consolidation of oªice space. Our Chinese Mainland and international links continued to prosper. In the Chinese Mainland, we were pleased to admit a small irst cohort to our Diploma in Foundation Studies (E-learning mode) (eDFS). We have also entered into a collaborative agreement with Northwestern Polytechnical University (NPU) to admit a 2025/26 cohort of eDFS students in a face-to-face supported mode provided by the NPU Continuing Education School at their new Taicang Campus near Shanghai. We look forward to more Chinese Mainland collaboration in future. Internationally, we reached out to a new partner, the University of Bath, with whom a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed, while we also signed a MoU with Temasek Polytechnic in Singapore. As part of staff development we are encouraging and supporting colleagues to undertake doctoral studies and a number of partners, including the University of Plymouth, Ulster University 在投資未來方面，我們已展開了三間全新教學中 心的籌建工作，預期在2025/26學年啓用。其 中兩間位於九龍灣地區（金利豐國際中心及國際 交易中心），將支援我們持續增長的全日制學生 人數；另一間位於上水（上水匯），主要服務新界 北區及來自深圳的參加者。中華人民共和國香港 特別行政區政府亦已批准將九龍東分校及港島南 （薄扶林）分校的租約延長十年。此外，學院實施 的混合工作模式繼續運作良好，部分辦公室空間 更得以重新整合。 我們與中國內地及國際的聯繫持續發展。在 中國內地方面，我們迎來了「基礎專上教育文 憑（線上學習模式）」課程的首屆小規模學生； 又與西北工業大學（西工大）簽訂了合作協議， 在2025/26學年以線上模式開辦「基礎專上教育 文憑」，而西工大繼續教育學院於鄰近上海新建 的太倉校園為學生提供面對面教學支援。我們 期待未來能開拓更多與中國內地合作的項目。 在國際方面，學院已與英國巴斯大學建立新夥 伴關係，並簽署了諒解備忘錄；同時亦與新加 坡淡馬錫理工學院簽訂了合作協議。為推動員 工發展，我們鼓勵並支援各同事修讀博士學位 課程，目前已有普利茅斯大學、阿爾斯特大 學及愛丁堡龍比亞大學等合作夥伴錄取了本校 教職員攻讀相關課程。學院亦很高興慶祝與英 國倫敦大學逾六十年的合作夥伴關係，持續支 持香港學生報讀他們的學位課程――由最初的 「法學士」課程至1990年起拓展至倫敦政治經濟 HKU SPACE ANNUAL REPORT 2024/25 DIRECTOR’S REVIEW OF THE YEAR院長回顧 HKU SPACE ANNUAL REPORT 2024/25 DIRECTOR’S REVIEW OF THE YEAR院長回顧 and Edinburgh Napier University, have admitted our staff to their programmes. We were also pleased to celebrate over 60 years of partnership with the University of London in supporting students in Hong Kong registered on their degree courses—initially on the LLB and from 1990 with the LSE Economics, Finance, Management and Social Sciences degrees. We were also delighted to become an International Associate Member of the UK Quality Assurance Agency, which provides links to a wealth of QA material and experience sharing as well as to member institutions worldwide. We were also pleased to host the 3rd International Conference on Quality in Self- inanced Higher Education 'Connecting Local and Global' which was held in February 2025 with a healthy on-site attendance as well as a strong international presence online. In 2025 the School celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Alumni Association, now some 400,000 strong and with an active programme of events. The annual concert, the Joys of Spring, took place in April 2025 with an enthusiastic cast and audience at the Kowloon East Campus. The Sing Tao award was again presented to the School, as was the UNSDG award. Also, in terms of awards, the Federation for Self- inanced Tertiary Education (FSTE) organised its irst Teaching Excellence Awards (TEA) and the Best Teacher award was given to Miss Joyce Linda Boon of the Community College. Also at FSTE Dr John Cribbin, Deputy Director (Academic Services), was elected as Vice Chairman. The School also had its irst 25 years of service awardees at its annual Long Service Awards Ceremony at which some 34 colleagues were presented for 25 years of service. 學院的經濟學、金融學、管理學及社會科學學 位課程。我們亦十分榮幸成為了英國高等教育質 素保證局的國際聯繫會員，與全球會員機構建 立聯繫，共同分享豐富的質素保證資源與經驗。 在2025年2月，我們舉辦了第三屆國際性研討 會 International Conference on Quality and Self- inanced Higher Education “Connecting Local and Global”，現場與會人數眾多，線上國 際參與度亦相當活躍。 學院校友會現有會員人數超過40萬。在2025 年，為慶祝成立20周年，校友會舉辦了連串精 彩活動，當中包括2025年4月在九龍東分校舉 行的年度音樂會The Joys of Spring，演出陣容 及觀眾皆熱情洋溢。 本年度，學院再次榮獲《星島日報》「星鑽服務 品牌選舉―最佳持續進修教育學府」服務大獎及 「聯合國可持續發展目標香港成就獎」之「認可機 構」獎項。在其他獎項方面，自資高等教育聯盟 舉辦了首屆「傑出教學獎」選舉，由香港大學附 屬學院的導師Joyce Linda Boon小姐榮膺最佳 教師。此外，學院常務副院長（學務）祁樂彬博士 當選為自資高等教育聯盟的新一屆副主席。學院 於年度長期服務獎頒獎典禮上，首次頒發25年 服務獎項，共有34位同事獲此殊榮。 8 9
Although a section on ESG is not required for Companies Limited by Guarantee, the Board resolved in 2021 that the Annual Report should nevertheless formally include ESG in its Report from 2021/22 onwards. Environment and Sustainability In 2024°25, the School continued to strengthen its sustainability e orts through infrastructure upgrades and resource management. A major milestone was the completion of three new Learning Centres— the Kowloon East (Kingston) Learning Centre (KEK), Sheung Shui Learning Centre (SSLC), and Kingston East (Exchange) Learning Centre (KEE)—each designed with environmentally friendly features as a priority and aligned with HKU Estates Oªice ESG guidelines. KEK locates at Kingston International Centre which received BEAM Plus Platinum certi ication, featuring 40% greenery coverage and energy-ef icient designs that reduce carbon emissions by over 30%. Their curtain wall systems help lower solar heat gain and airconditioning consumption. SSLC and KEE also adopted greenery and wooden inishes to create a calming atmosphere and reduce reliance on arti icial lighting. Motion sensors and timer controls were installed to support energy conservation. Additionally, both centres introduced the 'Way Finder' digital display system for checking class schedules and providing directional guidance, supporting paper reduction. Paper reduction remained a key focus. The School enhanced its use of digital tools, including the e-Prospectus and digital name cards. The Institutional Advancement Unit has successfully collaborated with Colleges and Units to adopt green printing and production practices. This initiative, driven by a strategic shift towards digital iles, resulted in a 20% reduction in printing quantities, from 164 to 130 jobs between 202324 and 202425, effectively minimising material waste and environmental impact. This commitment is further evident 香港大學專業進修學院作為擔保有限公司，雖 然無需就環境、社會與管治作匯報，但董事局 於2021 年決議自 2021/22 年起於周年報告中正 式加入環境、社會與管治工作。 橇㞯莅〳䭰糵涮㾝 在2024/25年度，學院繼續透過設施升級和資 源管理，加強推動可持續發展工作。其中一個 重要里程碑是三間教學中心落成啓用――九龍 東Kingston教學中心（KEK）、上水教學中心 （SSLC）及九龍東 Exchange 教學中心（KEE）， 三間教學中心皆以環保設計為首要考慮，同時符 合香港大學物業處的環境、社會與管治（ESG） 指引。 KEK坐落的金利豐國際中心獲綠建環評鉑金級認 證，建築物包含40%綠化覆蓋率及符合節能設 計，可降低30%以上碳排放量；大廈幕牆系統 設計有助減少太陽熱能吸收與空調耗能。SSLC 及KEE亦採用了綠化景觀及木質裝潢，營造安 靜平和的氛圍並降低對人工照明的依賴。為支持 節能措施，兩間教學中心均安裝了移動傳感器 與定時開關裝置，同時又引進「課室路線指示」 數碼顯示系統，用於查詢課程表和提供路向指 示，藉此減少用紙量。 減少用紙量仍是我們的重點工作。學院已加強 推行數碼化，包括電子版課程手冊及數碼名片。 傳訊及拓展部已成功與各學院及部門合作，採 用綠色印刷及製作。這項邁向數碼檔案的策略轉 型措施，使印刷量從2023/24年度的164項減 至2024/25年度的130項，減少了20%，有 效降低物料浪費及對環境的影響。這項承諾也體 Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) 橇㞯爢剚莅盘屛 HKU SPACE ANNUAL REPORT 2024/25 DIRECTOR’S REVIEW OF THE YEAR院長回顧 HKU SPACE ANNUAL REPORT 2024/25 DIRECTOR’S REVIEW OF THE YEAR院長回顧 On the topic of awards, the School will initiate a digital parchments project in 2025/26. This will not (initially at least) replace paper parchments, though it may do so eventually. The Microcredential Scheme already awards digital badges and these have proved popular – some 4,568 microcredential participants were recorded in 2024/25. Most of these are CEF eligible and the School o ers some 40% in total of all CEF eligible courses. In December 2024, HKU SPACE introduced its new mobile app, designed to enrich the student experience. This app serves as a userfriendly platform enabling students to stay informed about the School’s latest updates and to access comprehensive information about the School’s programmes and activities. Another irst for 2024/25 was the initiation of the Teaching Fellowship Scheme a highly regarded international award of the UK HEA Fellowship administered by Advance HE. During the year the Joint Venture College with our partner, Po Leung Kuk, HKU SPACE Po Leung Kuk Stanley Ho Community College (HPSHCC) continued to do well with a total of over 3,000 full-time students at the Causeway Bay Campus. Our Greater Management Role continued to prosper and the two partners signed a new Joint Venture Agreement to run until 2055 at a ceremony on 10 March 2025. Finally, I would like to thank the Board of Directors for its support and guidance during the year and to express my appreciation of my colleagues who have worked hard to make 2024/25 a successful year of growth and achievement. 關於頒授證書事宜，學院將於2025/26學年啓 動數碼學歷證書計劃。此舉（至少在初期）不會取 代紙本證書，但未來可能逐步實現全面數碼化。 微證書計劃現已頒發數碼證書或徽章，深獲學員 歡迎。在2024/25年度，共有4,568名學員報 讀學院的微證書課程。大部分微證書課程均符合 持續進修基金資助範圍，目前學院共計提供市場 上約40%持續進修基金認可課程。 為加強學生體驗，學院在2024年12 月推出了 全新流動應用程式。此應用程式提供一個便捷 的平台，讓學員無論身在何處，均可緊貼學院最 新動態，掌握學院所有課程及活動資訊。 學院在2024/25年度的另一項發展是，首度推 出「教學院士計劃」，這是一項由英國高等教育學 會（Advance HE）管理的英國HEA學者國際知 名獎項，備受國際推崇。 在本年度，學院與保良局合辦的港大保良何鴻 燊社區書院繼續表現良好，銅鑼灣校園全日制學 生總數逾3,000。我們繼續擔任重大管理角色， 並於2025年3月10日，雙方簽署了新的合作 協議，將合作期延續至2055年。 最後，我要感謝董事局於本年度給予學院的支持 與指導，並向學院全體同事致以由衷謝意，有賴 大家的辛勤付出，學院在2024/25年度取得長 足進步與豐碩成果。 10 11
in the widespread adoption of eco-friendly materials across all school publications and major events. The IAU has prioritised the use of FSC-certi ied paper, ensuring responsible sourcing, alongside bio-foamboards and non-PVC materials. Twenty-two digitalised service request forms were implemented by the Accommodation and Facilities (A&F) Unit to replace paper forms. Additional e-displays for class schedules and corporate materials further supported our transition to paperless operations. Waste reduction e orts included recycling programmes for paper, plastic, and cans, and minimising single-use plastics. Learning Centres collaborated with their Building Management Of ices (BMO) to support recycling initiatives and promote shared sustainability goals. We recorded a 2% reduction in electricity consumption. Green measures were integrated across facilities, including LED lighting, motion sensors, and split-type air-conditioning units with environmentally friendly refrigerants. Enhanced insulation and temperature sensors were installed to improve indoor climate control and energy eªiciency, thereby reduce emissions. Water reduction was also prioritised. Auto-sensor faucets and dual- lush toilet cisterns were installed to reduce water usage in toilets. Ecofriendly utensil washers were implemented in specialised teaching venues such as the Food and Beverage (F&B) Education Hub and the Nutrition and Culinary Science Lab to further reduce consumption.
