- Enhancing the quality of
teaching and learning through the
improvement of facilities and related
resources.

Academic Development
Areas of excellence
To achieve international standing, PolyU has
identified a number of “Areas of Strategic
Development” among its strongest disciplines to
which extra resources are dedicated to ensure
they become “Areas of Excellence” by regional or
international standards.
Applied research
Over the years, PolyU has developed close
and valuable links with the industrial and
commercial sectors, including exclusive
partnerships centring on major research
initiatives. The University’s well-established
strength in applied research is evidenced by the
quality and quantity of resulting products and
processes and the benefits for both businesses
and end-users.
Institution Development
Constantly reviewing its
needs for academic support facilities and services,
PolyU has launched a host of construction projects
in recent years. Currently under planning is the
Phase 8 Development to be built to the northwest of
the campus. In addition, two other ongoing new
projects, i.e. new Design Centre within campus and a
teaching and research hotel in Tsimshatsui, will
help create an environment to meet the requirements
of the new “3+3+4” academic system and other
academic development needs.
Student Development Fund
To enhance
the competitive edge for our students and the
community, PolyU has put in place a range of
programmes conducive to the all-round development of
students and an increased alertness to and ability
in tackling challenges in the workplace upon their
graduation.
Preferred
Graduates Development Programme (PGDP)
Introduced in 1997, this is a placement programme
that helps to expose our students to actual working
environment in Hong Kong, the Chinese mainland and
overseas before their graduation. Since its launch,
PGDP has arranged more than 9,000 placements for
students to gain practical work experience and
nurture their professional skills. With a view to
broadening students’ global outlook, placements are
arranged both locally and overseas.
Feedback from Partner Companies and Students
Community
Service Learning Programme (CSLP)
The Programme was launched in 2004 to foster
students’ social commitment and responsibility
through serving the community with their
professional knowledge. With the concerted efforts
of various academic and administrative departments
on campus, students are encouraged to initiate and
organize Community Service Learning Projects. In
2006/07, 44 projects were completed by 1,000
students and supervising staff, serving over 22,500
people in need in Hong Kong and on the Chinese
mainland.
Exchange Scholarship
PolyU exchanges students with
around 120 renowned universities in 19 countries.
Every year, the University receives more than 400
exchange students and sends forth an equivalent
number of PolyU students abroad.
Our Student Exchange Programme
has proven to be most effective in enhancing
students’ all-round development and global outlook.
In particular, this Programme helps to enhance the
competitive edge of our students, internationalize
our campus and enable students in need to gain study
experience abroad.
