1st Collaboration with King's College London to Launch
World's Top-Ranked Nursing Programme
HKU SPACE and King's College London (King’s) have signed a collaboration agreement to forge a strategic partnership. As one of the top 40 universities in the QS World University Rankings 2024 and one of the oldest institutions in the England, King's is committed to providing a rounded education that cultivates critical thinking, problem-solving, and transformative skills to meet the demands of the UK and the global community. This agreement marks the first-ever collaboration between King's and an educational institution in Hong Kong, representing a significant milestone for the School in transnational education.
Under the agreement, the School and King's will collaborate to offer a range of programmes, beginning with the MSc Clinical Nursing. King's will provide the content and delivery of the programme, while the School will provide administrative support. Notably, King's ranks 1st in the UK and 2nd in the world for Nursing according to the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2024.
The MSc Clinical Nursing is a two-year part-time programme to offer Hong Kong students the opportunity to obtain a master’s degree award from King’s. The programme is conducted in a distance learning mode, with students attending online classes alongside King's students through King’s eLearning platform. Students will gain a comprehensive understanding of the application of digital strategies in healthcare and clinical leadership, and they will have the opportunity to engage with institutional and wider cultures that promote patient safety and evidence-based nursing practices. Graduates who complete the programme in Hong Kong will become alumni of King's, enhancing their career prospects, networking opportunities, and global outlook. Hong Kong nurses can also earn Continuing Nursing Education (CNE) credits through this programme.
This collaboration allows the School to bring world-class programmes to Hong Kong, which aligns with our commitment to providing access to world-class education and expanding learning opportunities for individuals in Hong Kong. In the future, the collaboration between the two institutions will expand to include other degree programmes such as Nursing, Law, and Psychology, in order to meet the diverse needs of different learners.
香港大學專業進修學院首次與倫敦國王學院攜手推出世界頂尖護理課程
學院與倫敦國王學院（國王學院）簽訂合作協議，建立戰略夥伴關係。倫敦國王學院是2024年QS世界大學排名位列前40，也是英國歷史最悠久的大學之一，一向致力為學生提供全面教育，培養學生的批判思維、解難能力及改革能力，以滿足英國本土及全球社會需求。這項協議是國王學院與香港教育機構的首度合作，也是學院在跨國教育領域的一個重要里程碑。
根據協議內容，學院與國王學院將攜手推出一系列課程，頭炮課程是臨床護理學碩士，由國王學院提供課程內容及授課，學院負責行政支援。值得一提的是，根據2024年QS世界大學學科排名，國王學院的護理學科在英國排名第一，在全球排名第二。
臨床護理學碩士是一個為期兩年的兼讀制課程，為香港學生提供機會取得國王學院頒發的碩士學銜。課程以遙距學習模式進行，學生透過電子學習平台與國王學院的學生一起參加在線課堂。課程將指導學生深入了解數位策略在護理層面的應用及接受醫療體系領袖培訓，學生亦能夠參與促進患者安全的體制文化及循證實踐等。在港完成課程的畢業生將成為國王學院的校友，有助提升他們的職業前景、人際交流機會和全球視野。香港護士可獲得持續護理教育 (CNE) 學分。
是次合作讓學院將世界一流的課程帶到香港，正好符合學院為香港市民提供優質教育及學習機會的辦學承諾。在未來，兩所學院的合作將擴展至護理學、法律和心理學學士等其他學位課程，以滿足不同學員的需求。
