003 William K. M. Lee 李經文 Director 院長 Message from the Director 院長序言 In line with our efforts to enhance the student experience and provide learners with a personalised browsing experience, our Website Account Logon System (which may be the first-of-its-kind in the education sector in Hong Kong) was launched in September 2022. Students are encouraged to sign up an account on the website to browse personalised programme and event suggestions and receive related personalised emails. Some new functions are also introduced such as bookmarks and comparisons and quick event registration. Our College of Business and Finance and some Community College staff have moved to the new learning centre in Kowloon West. This is situated at 888 Lai Chi Kok Road. We anticipate that teaching will commence there in the first quarter of 2023. The property is adjacent to the MTR for easy access and will increase the number of learning centres in Kowloon. The School is preparing to introduce Microcredentials at HKU SPACE to better serve the learning community. This is a world-wide trend to offer learners short, standalone courses that are relevant to careers and professions or indeed for general interest. A digital certificate or digital badge is issued to successful learners. These awards are also “stackable” in that learners may accumulate them to earn a certificate or diploma. We would like to provide more study flexibility for our learners and target to launch the Microcredentials scheme in first quarter of 2023. On our full-time education provision, the 2022/23 academic year has seen higher admission and enrolment numbers for the Community College this year despite the demographic decline amongst the school leaving population. This reflects the high quality of subdegree education in the past 20 years. Moreover, in light of EDB’s current reform process on self-financed post-secondary education, and as a forward-looking institution, HKU SPACE Community College regularly reviews its strategy, operations and academic offerings to meet student needs and the future development of the College. In relation to international benchmarking, we will hold our 2nd International Conference in March 2023. Local and international educators and professionals from academia and industry will share their experience and discuss how different programmes can enhance the learning experience. We were also pleased to receive formal recognition from the German Quality Agency, ASIIN, as a follow up to our International Quality Review in 2021. HKU SPACE continues to offer the largest and broadest selection of CEF courses. The Government has raised the subsidy ceiling of the Continuing Education Fund (CEF) from $20,000 to $25,000 per applicant and removed the upper age limit on 1 August 2022. This new initiative will benefit 760 000 more eligible persons as well as those who have opened a CEF account. We hope more learners will be able to take advantage of this enhanced financial support for lifelong learners. The School ant icipates that the coming year may see many changes as the Government seeks to reform the Post Secondary Colleges Ordinance (Cap 320) to include the University self financed, continuing education sector. In addition, we will also hope to pursue further initiatives in the Greater Bay Area (GBA). I will look forward to updating readers on progress as 2023 unfolds. In the meantime, I commend this Prospectus to those who wish to pursue lifelong learning, be it for career and professional reasons, or for general interest. I am sure you will find courses that meet your needs in this publication and on our website. 香港大學專業進修學院一直致力提升學生體驗，我們於2022年 9月推出網站帳戶登入系統，為學員提供個人化的瀏覽體驗。這 可算是香港首個可供使用者建立帳戶的高等教育機構網站，開創 了本港教育界的先河。我們鼓勵學生在網站開設帳戶，以瀏覽個 人化的課程和活動建議及接收相關的個人化電郵；網站也加設了 新功能，例如加入書籤、課程比較及快速活動登記，使瀏覽更輕 鬆、更便捷。 金融商業學院及香港大學附屬學院的部分員工已遷往位於九龍西 荔枝角道888號的新教學中心。我們預計教學中心於2023年首 季開始投入教學工作。該物業毗鄰港鐵站，交通方便，讓學院在 九龍區再添一間教學中心。 香港大學專業進修學院正準備引入微證書計劃，為有志進修人士 提供更便利的學習模式。微證書是一股全球新趨勢 —— 為進修 人士提供短期獨立課程，以提升事業及專業或培養興趣，畢業 同學可獲頒發數碼證書或徽章。這些數碼證書或徽章是「可堆疊 的」，學員可以積累學分以獲得證書或文憑資格。我們希望為學 員提供更具彈性的學習模式，目標是在2023年第一季度推出微 證書計劃。 在全日制課程方面，面對中學畢業生人數減少，香港大學附屬學 院在2022/23學年的入學和報名數字仍有所增長，足見過去20 年我們的副學位課程質素廣受社會認可。不僅如此，因應教育局 最近的專上教育改革，作為一所前瞻性的教育機構，香港大學附 屬學院定期檢討其策略、運作及課程，以配合學生需要及附屬學 院的未來發展。 至於國際基準參照方面，我們將於2023年3月舉辦第二次國際 學術會議，邀請來自學界及各行業的本地及國際教育工作者及專 業人士分享經驗，並討論如何提升不同課程的學習體驗。另外， 跟進學院在2021年進行的國際學術質素評審結果，我們非常榮 幸獲得德國認證機構ASIIN（工程、信息科學、自然科學和數學 專業認證機構）的官方認證。 香港大學專業進修學院是本港最大及最多元化的持續進修基金課 程提供者。香港特區政府已於2022年8月1日把持續進修基金的 資助上限由每人20,000元提升至25,000元，並取消年齡上限。 新措施將惠及額外76萬名合資格人士及已開立持續進修基金帳 戶的市民。我們希望更多學員能運用額外的資助，實踐他們終身 學習的志向。 香港特區政府銳意改革《專上學院條例》（第320章）。作為自資 院校及持續教育界的一員，學院預計明年將是充滿變動的一年。 此外，我們希望在大灣區有更進一步的發展，期待明年向各位匯 報更多進展。 我誠意向各位有志終身學習的朋友推介這本課程手冊。無論您希 望在事業或專業上更上一層樓，還是發展新的興趣，也定能在本 課程手冊及我們的網站找到合適的課程。
