Flexible pathways to a degree
Flexible pathways have been designed to assist our students to achieve academic awards at their chosen level of study. This may be through full-time or part-time studies, face-to-face teaching, blended learning and work based learning programmes. A variety of options are provided so that students can study modules or complete programmes that best suit their interest and the time that they are available for study.

Professional development
The object of these courses is to prepare students for employment and to broaden the knowledge and skills for those working in a diverse range of organisations, including government agencies, rehabilitation centres, social services agencies, clubs, hotels, fitness centres, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), health promotions, schools, sports associations, tertiary institutions, and communities and commercial health consultants.

International recognition
The programmes have been well received by the industry both locally and internationally due to the network that the School has with employers, professional bodies and reputable overseas universities sustained over the past 15 years.  This strong network facilitates professional placements and volunteer activities, guest speakers, site visits and career development opportunities for students. Our student’s qualifications are recognised by overseas universities for local or international studies, by professional bodies for continuing professional development and accredited by the Hong Kong Coach Education Committee.
