History of Full-time Programmes at the Open University
of Hong Kong
The Chief Executive’s policy
speech in 2000 initiated the objective of enabling sixty percent of Hong Kong’s
senior secondary school leavers of the relevant age group to receive full-time
post-secondary education by 2010.
In response to the policy, the University launched the first full-time
academic programmes at the associate degree level in 2001. By 2003, the Open University of Hong
Kong started to offered 4-year full-time honours degree programmes, providing
first-year-first-degree places to students completing Secondary 6. At the same time, the honours degree
programmes also offer senior year places to the associate degree and higher
diploma holders for articulation to a full bachelor’s
degree.
In 2005 the University celebrated
the graduation of the first cohort of full-time honours degree students. Then in 2007, the University joined
JUPAS, opening another channel of admission to a number of 3-year honours degree
programmes, designed specifically to admit students based on their Hong Kong
Advanced Level Examination (HKALE) results.
Looking ahead
In
the last few years, the University adopted the outcome based approach to
teaching and learning for full-time face-to-face programmes. We have revamped our full-time degree
offering in preparation for the 3-3-4 New Academic Structure at the tertiary
education level in 2012. The new
full-time programme degree structure was finalized in June 2011, and we are
ready to admit students under the new system.
