Message to Students

Since its establishment in 1965, the School of Continuing and Professional Studies of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUSCS) has remained committed to providing quality lifelong and professional education to society. For over two decades, our Higher Diploma Programmes have served as an ideal pathway for young people to realise their potential. As the Government strives to position Hong Kong as an international hub of higher education, I encourage you to make full use of the diverse learning opportunities offered by the University and CUSCS to strengthen your academic foundation, broaden your global vision, and pursue your dreams with courage, bringing meaningful and lasting contributions to our nation and the world.

Vocational education plays a vital role in Hong Kong's education system. The Education Bureau, in its Revised Common Descriptors for Associate Degree and Higher Diploma Programmes, recognises the Higher Diploma as a "main pillar in the Vocational and Professional Education and Training pathway". At CUSCS, our Higher Diploma Programmes are carefully structured to combine specialised knowledge with practical experience, and are rigorously vetted by the University. These programmes prepare students with essential skills to advance their studies or pursue meaningful careers, while supporting Hong Kong's ongoing development. Join us to realise your professional ambitions and unlock a brilliant future!

In 2026, CUSCS embarks on a new jiazi cycle, opening a fresh chapter guided by our belief in "Advance with legacy for lifelong company." Building on CUHK's proud tradition of quality education and whole-person development, we continue to refine our curriculum to meet the evolving needs of society. Our goal is to equip students with knowledge and nurture their potential, so that whether advancing to further studies or entering professional careers, they are confident and well prepared. Our caring faculty and staff walk alongside you – supporting your growth, encouraging self-discovery, and inspiring you to embrace challenges. We warmly welcome you to the CUSCS family!
