I am
very delighted to welcome you to the School of Continuing Studies,
The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), CUHK is a research-oriented
institution. However, its mission does include academic services
to the society as a whole. As an extension arm of CUHK, the School
has the prime and distinct mission of providing high quality
continuing and professional education to meet changing community
needs.
In
support of the HKSAR Government's initiative to increase and
diversify higher education opportunities for senior secondary
school leavers, this School offers a variety of associate degree
programmes including Business, Computing, Theology, Logistics
Management, Recreation and Leisure Studies, and Hospitality
and Tourism Management. Aiming at whole-person development,
these programmes advocate broad-based curriculum, development
of multiple intelligence, and specialisation in a chosen field
of study. In designing these programmes, we have the full support
of CUHK faculty members in providing expert advice and professional
comments. Through the integrated learning approach, graduates
of these associate degree programmes will be well-versed in
English and Chinese languages, IT knowledge, quantitative and
analytical skills, and Eastern and Western cultures. Furthermore,
they will be well equipped with solid academic training and
practical knowledge in one of the above specialised fields.
All these are essential foundations to succeed in further studies
or career development in a knowledge-based society.
I look
forward to your joining our associate degree programmes.

Director
