2,500,000+ Student Enrolments(1956 - 2015)

Your Department [of Extra-Mural Studies], which was instituted by the Court yesterday, is the most

important of all our departments as far as public relations are concerned. Planned aright and if given full

scope, your work will touch every section of the community, every stratum of our society; it is the most

important means of explaining or making available to the masses the knowledge accumulated by the few.

The University of Hong Kong’s Department of Extra Mural Studies (DEMS) was established in 1956/57, the first

continuing education unit in a university in the region. DEMS played a significant role in the provision of lifelong

learning opportunities for the wider community. In 1992, it was renamed as the School of Professional and

Continuing Education (HKU SPACE). The University has a recognised role in lifelong learning and, as the

continuing education arm of the University, HKU SPACE fulfills this part of the University’s mission by providing

learning opportunities for personal, professional and career advancement for people from all walks of life.

Our full-time programmes

HKU SPACE started to offer full-time programmes leading to sub-degree award –- Associate Degree, and Higher Diploma from the

year 2000 when the School established the first Community College in Hong Kong. Sub-degree education provides an alternative

study pathway for those secondary school graduates who could not enter university . Sub-degree graduates can have a second chance

to continue their studies in a tertiary institution or start their career after graduation.

In 2003, the School established the International College (formerly Centre for International Degree Programmes) with the main

objective to provide full-time top-up degrees for those Community College graduates who would like to pursue a bachelor degree

awarded by public universities in the UK and Australia. The study programme can be completed in Hong Kong without going overseas.
