Postgraduate Programmes (Part-time)

The postgraduate programmes at SCOPE are academically sound and career relevant, and will definitely improve participants’ performance and presentation in the workplace, and allow them to learn with people from different backgrounds while acquiring new areas of expertise. These new skills will facilitate their career changes and deepen their knowledge in specific disciplines.

Top-up Degree Programmes (Full-time/Part-time)

SCOPE is one of the pioneers of overseas Bachelor’s Degree (Top-up) in Hong Kong. With the first top-up programme started in 1992, the total number of participants graduated from these programmes is close to 3,500. The programmes allowed the graduates to pursue further studies and make significant career advancement.

Progression Diploma Programmes (Day-time/Part-time, for HKCEE holders)

These progression programmes provide a route for HKCEE holders to pursue higher education through articulation to a number of overseas awards. Participants may complete a Bachelor’s Degree in 4 years part-time.

These standalone programmes lead to Continuing Education awards (Diploma level and Certificate level) by CityU SCOPE. The programmes aim to broaden the students’ knowledge and provide training for career advancement in specific industries.

Project Yi Jin (Day-time/ Part-time)

Thousands of secondary school leavers have developed their confidence and study skills to proceed further, either in education or employment, through SCOPE’s Yi Jin Programme. Some of these graduates have continued their studies in SCOPE’s day-time progression diploma programmes and some chose to enter Pre-Associate Degree programmes and higher programmes offered by CityU and other universities. some of them have joined the HKSAR Government or private organisations.

General Courses (Part-time)

SCOPE offers a wide range of general courses two times a year: Spring and Autumn. Normally there are no entrance requirements and all applications will be dealt with on a first-come-first-served basis.

SCOPE undertakes institutional work on behalf of the University by offering optional language courses in Putonghua and English for regular CityU students, and has close working relationships with various industries and professional bodies, and is considered to be an innovative provider of quality continuing education in many disciplines and professions. Given this international and professional perspective, the School is actively exploring opportunities for the provision of programmes in the mainland.
