In order to provide a more spacious and comfortable learning environment, the revamped United Learning Centre has expanded to the whole 6th floor of the United Centre. The new design of the area is based on the concept of flowing water, symbolising the School's 66-year-long history of nurturing and cultivating talents. The white lobby together with the undulating ceiling has enhanced the sense of space and light. The modernity of the entrance helps to permeate an atmosphere that is reminiscent of a bright future for the students. The long corridor is designed in flowing curved lines, which not only reduces the sense of constraint and confinement, but also helps to establish a simple and quiet space. 統一中心: 涓涓細流 培養人才 United Centre: rich soil for nurturing talents

Professor Postiglione gave his heartfelt congratulations on the students' achievements, “This is a proud moment for you and your family. The education you received here is not only knowledge, but also skills, adaptability, analytical thinking, and most importantly, resilience. These qualities will guide you and forge your individual path. Education is a lifelong journey. Remember to stay hungry, stay curious, open up your mind, and pursue new ways of seeing the world.” Professor Lo also applauded the students' hard work, acknowledging the dedication and perseverance they have shown in the past two years. He encouraged them to keep moving forward on the journey of life, “Your graduation today embarks on the new beginning of your life-long journey. The key to your future success is modesty. Be humble and continue to be a life-long learner not only in your own discipline but also in other areas, so that you will be a well-rounded person in your personal and professional development.” After the speech, Professor Postiglione presented the Outstanding Teacher Awards in recognition of the teachers' excellent performance in teaching, Professor Lo conferred the Associate Degrees or Higher Diplomas on graduates from different divisions, including the Division of Arts and Humanities, Economics and Business, Engineering and Technology, English, Mathematics and Science, and Social Sciences.

She was grateful to the teachers for being their life tutor and role model, to the family for their unconditional love, and to the classmates for supporting each other on the way to academic pursuit. “As we bid farewell to our college life and turn to new chapters of our life, let us treasure the lessons we have learned, the friendships we have forged, and the memories we have created. Today, we stand united as a class, ready to embrace the challenges and opportunities that await us.” Sharing learning experience Jonathan, a graduate of the Associate of Arts in Media, Cultural and Creative Studies, said, “The College offers a lot of freedom.

07 HKU SPACE International College (IC) was established in 2003 under the name “Centre for International Degree Programmes (CIDP)”. Starting with the key objective of providing an alternative articulation pathway for sub-degree graduates of the HKU SPACE Community Colleges, it collaborates with prestigious overseas partners to offer nonlocal degree programmes for students to gain an internationally recognised qualification benchmarked with world-class standards. Over the past two decades, IC has witnessed more than 9,000 graduates contributing to society in various sectors. To commemorate its 20th anniversary this year, the College organised an Alumni Reunion on 15 July 2023. Former Heads of IC, faculty members and students, alumni, representatives of overseas partners, and the management of the College gathered together to celebrate this momentous occasion, to witness the growth and transformation over the past 20 years, and to share what they had learned through international education in Hong Kong. A twenty-year journey: thriving in challenging times The ceremony was kicked off with a welcome speech by Dr Dorothy Chan, Deputy Director (Administration and Resources) of HKU SPACE and former Head of IC. She once again highlighted the missions of the College and its development in different phases, “In collaboration with overseas universities, we are able to develop more flexible and dynamic programmes based on overseas experience to the benefit of our students.” After Dr Chan’s inspiring words, three former Heads of IC also shared their unforgettable memories of their service to the College. Dr Eddy Lee told us about his prime time and joyous experience during his tenure as the Head of IC, and shared his philosophy in education, “It’s actually dangerous to be a specialist who knows a lot about a specific field, but is so ignorant about other fields. During my tenure, I tried my very best to organise different activities to cut across the board to involve students of different programmes.” Dr FT Chan recalled his happy moments and precious memories with the IC family. To him, this ceremony was “a kind of thanksgiving to all the colleagues in the HKU SPACE family, [and to] all the students, alumni, teachers, and also our overseas partners”. Looking back to the days when he grew together with the College, Mr Ken Wong remembered, “I was given the opportunity to manage the College of a population of 2,000 full-time students with over 100 academic staff, as well as over 20 partners. It was a very good moment for me.” Roundtable discussion: The Significance of International Degrees The climax of the ceremony was a roundtable discussion on the topic of “The Significance of International Degrees to Hong Kong Students”, where the three former Heads, joined by Dr Richard Parkman, Associate Professor from the University of Plymouth, had a lively exchange of valuable ideas and insights. The session brought us an intellectually stimulating and engaging conversation, which helped us gain a deeper understanding of the importance and advantages of an international degree, the challenges of offering their programmes in Hong Kong, the synergies with overseas university partners, the trends of international education, and its impact on our society. The anniversary celebration came to an end when outstanding alumni shared their learning experience in the College and their adventure after graduation. “This programme provides me with diverse perspectives, international recognition, and invaluable knowledge,” said Ms Coco Wong, BSc (Hons) Sport Coaching graduate of the Northumbria University in 2021, “This is how everything begins, from realisation to a journey full of inspiration, and from a dream to business.”

It is a perfect match for Japanese cuisine and an important part of the culinary culture that the Japanese are proud of. As we all know, Hong Kong people enjoy wine and dine. Japanese delicacies, without a doubt, are one of their favourites, resulting in the increasing number of sake lovers in the city. In the light of the emerging sake fever, besides introducing regular sake courses, the School also organised an eight-day and sevennight "Japanese Sake Study Tour: Brewing Experience x Autumn Leaves x Sake Tasting" from 25 November to 2 December, providing the students with an invaluable cultural journey. During the tour, the students visited the Nishiyama Brewery to experience the brewing process run by the kurabito (sake brewery worker), which is usually not open to the public. Guided by the School's sake teacher, the brewery director, the chief brewer, and the kurabito, the students stepped into the heart of sake brewing and discovered the meticulous brewing process, which included rice washing, steaming, koji making, fermentation process, and filtration. They were given the opportunity to taste dozens of sakes, learning about the unique characteristics and the dishes that go well with them, and improving their skills in sake tasting. The students also participated in a Japanese beer brewery tour and a Uji tea ceremony workshop, where they dived into the beer-making process and embraced the charm of the traditional Chado culture. As a part of the study tour, the students were able to experience the authentic pairing of Japanese cuisine and sake, which not only pleased their taste buds, but also deepened their understanding of the Japanese culinary culture.

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.” Professor William K.M. Lee, Director of HKU SPACE, said, “We are delighted to receive this recognition from ASIIN, which grants us a 5-year extension of our Accreditation Seal. This demonstrates the global acknowledgement of our quality assurance systems. The positive report reinforces our unwavering dedication to professional and continuing education, as well as lifelong learning. It affirms the strength of our governance structure and the soundness of our quality assurance systems, aligned with international standards.” The ASIIN review was carried out on 5 July 2022 in the form of a virtual audit by the international expert panel. The accreditation was based on the Criteria for the ASIIN System Seal / Institutional Accreditation / Institutional Assessment. This set of criteria is designed for quality development in teaching and learning. The criteria refer to (I) the definition of quality and its management, (II) their application in the educational provisions the Higher Education Institution (HEI) is offering, (III) the management of its resources and (IV) quality related transparency and documentation. The report showed that HKU SPACE scored high in the four sets of criteria. The strongest categories were quality management systems/ governance, the process for the creation and development of study programmes as well as rules and regulations and transparency and documentation. The Panel concluded HKU SPACE has a strong base to build on and promising potential to further develop as a World Class Centre of Excellence in Continuing Education, Lifelong Learning and Transnational Education. 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」。 學院院長李經文教授表示:「我們對於ASIIN機 構認證標誌獲延續五年,感到十分鼓舞,反映我 們的學術質素保證制度獲得國際認同。是次評審 報告結果正面,再次鞏固了我們對專業和持續教 育以及終生學習堅定不移的決心及承諾。它肯定 了我們管治架構的優勢和學術質素保證制度的穩 健性,並完全符合國際標準。」 ASIIN的評審工作於2022年7月5日由國際專家 以虛擬評審形式進行。有關認證以ASIIN制度標 誌/機構評審/機構評核的準則作為依據,注重 教學的質素發展,並考慮:(I)學術質素的定義及 管理;(II)在高等教育機構所提供的教育課程上 的應用;(III)資源管理;以及(IV)與學術質素相 關的透明度與文書紀錄。 學院在四大範疇均有卓越表現,而且在學術質素 管理制度/管治、課程開拓和發展過程、守則和 規例,以及透明度和文書紀錄方面尤其出色。 評審小組總結認為學院具備穩健根基和深遠潛 力,可望在持續教育、終身學習和跨國教育的領 域上發展成為領導國際的優質學府。 HKU SPACE receives 5-Year extension of ASIIN Accreditation Seal ASIIN 機構認證標誌獲延續五年 DEC 2023 ASIIN 機構認證標誌獲延續五年 HKU SPACE receives 5-Year extension of ASIIN Accreditation Seal Learn more about the School 了解學院更多
