Want to read more about the event recap?
Self-financed higher education in Hong Kong is an important provider of quality continuing and professional education opportunities for learners, both part-time for working adults and full-time for school leavers and sub-degree holders. In addition to local awards, the availability of transnational education (TNE) programmes has been important in increasing the variety of offerings and the international recognition of the qualifications awarded.
HKU SPACE has a history of over 60 years and is one of the major providers of self-financed and transnational education in Hong Kong. During the rapid expansion of TNE opportunities in the 1990s, HKU SPACE led the way in collaboration with overseas universities. As the policy landscape and demand for TNE is rapidly changing, HKU SPACE invites local and international educators, researchers, education policy makers and professionals from academia and industry to contribute their experience to discuss the likely future of transnational education in this international conference.
Conference Theme
Within the theme of quality in self-financed higher education from local and global perspectives, the sub-themes related to self-financed higher education and TNE provision are as follows:
- Quality assurance
- Pedagogy/e-pedagogy and assessment/e-assessment
- Learning experience
- Policy landscape of transnational education
