The President and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Hong Kong, Professor Zhang Xiang, was delighted to learn of the very positive comments in the report on the findings of the UGC Quality Audit of the sub-degree programmes offered by HKU SPACE.

He was pleased to read in the report that, “given the volume and range of the sub-degree programmes on offer, there are excellent policies, processes and procedures in place to guide their development, approval, monitoring and review stages”.

Professor Zhang joins with UGC in congratulating HKU SPACE “on the detailed informative documentation that guides all aspects of management and quality assurance regarding these programmes”.

The report identifies the “high level of commitment, professionalism and enthusiasm of staff members of HKU SPACE” as one of the major contributing factors in the effective operation of all quality assurance processes.

The President takes particular note of the advice of the Audit Panel on ways in which HKU SPACE could make further progress towards achieving its goal of being a world-class centre of excellence.

The University and HKU SPACE found the preparation for the audit to be a stimulating and helpful process in identifying areas for improvement and enhancement of teaching and learning. They look forward to submitting to UGC an Action Plan in May 2019 and a Progress Report in August 2020.
