The German agency, the Accreditation Agency for Study Programmes in Engineering, Informatics, Natural Sciences and Mathematics (ASIIN) confirmed that HKU SPACE fulfils the institutional, procedural and cultural requirements for good teaching and successful learning as well as meeting the Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher European Area (ESG). The experts commend that “HKU SPACE's institutional leadership is particularly strong, and the institution is procedurally rigorous.” The accreditation was based on the Criteria for the ASI IN System Seal / Inst i tut ional Accredi tat ion / Inst i tut ional Assessment . This set of cri teria is designed for qual i ty development in teaching and learning (in line with the European Standards and Guidelines 2015). The criteria refer to (I) the definition of quality and its management, (II) their application in the educat ional prov is ions 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 highly over the entire range of the four sets of criteria. The strongest categories across the board 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. Key findings are as follows: • The experts see multiple evidence of an ef fective leadership and a management culture that is proactive and geared to the further development of the institution. • The experts commend HKU SPACE on its comprehensive planning processes, which are geared to the further improvement of its study programmes. • The exper ts f ind a st rong cent ra l i sed managemen t i n re l a t i on to ru l es and regulations pertaining to programmes. • The experts identify a stringent emphasis on documentation at HKU SPACE. External legal requirements relevant for documentation and transparency are continuously taken into consideration in the respective processes. Professor William K.M. Lee, the Director of the HKU SPACE, said, “I am very happy to receive this formal recognition from ASIIN which demonstrates that our quality assurance systems receive global recogni t ion. This posi t ive repor t shows our dedicat ion and commitment to professional and continuing education and lifelong learning, and that our governance structure and quality assurance systems are sound.” Finally the Panel concluded the 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. It has made a number of recommendations to assist the School in this endeavour which will be followed up in the coming months. 香港大學專業進修學院榮獲 ASIIN 機構認證標誌
