Strategic Plan 2022-28

In the 2019-22 triennium, we focused on the expansion of postgraduate (PG) programmes including professional programmes at the doctoral level and internationalisation of PG programmes through collaborations/partnerships with renowned Mainland/overseas institutions. Different learning opportunities have been provided to enhance the international learning experiences of our students, e.g. international conferences and study trips were organised with and at our partner institutions, development of double degrees and joint degrees, etc. Building on our strong UG foundation (which complements our PG programmes), the University will focus on augmenting the development of PG studies.
