於學習、事業與人生目標上邁進。 The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) established the Department of Extramural Studies in 1965.
In January 2006, it was renamed as the School of Continuing and Professional Studies (CUSCS). Bearing the mission of providing quality continuing professional education programmes and services to meet the changing needs of society, the School offers a diverse range of courses and programmes at different levels. In 2017-18, 85 award-bearing programmes and 550 general courses, distance learning cour
ses and corporate training courses were offered. What CUSCS offers can broadly be categorised into general courses and award-bearing programmes. General courses, normally lasting for two to four months, have no specific admission requirement, and are generally for self-enrichment. Since 1979, CUSCS has been offering award-bearing programmes at advanced diploma, professional diploma, diploma, and certificate levels. These programmes have specific admission requirements and are designed in accordance with the guidelines and standards set by CUHK. They will lead to academic awards or professional qualifications for learners who wish to enhance their skills and knowledge in their particular fields of study. In support of the Government's initiatives to provide secondary school leavers with additional pathways to pursue higher education in Hong Kong, the School has been offering a variety of Higher Diploma Programmes since 2002. In response to the implementation of the “334” academic structure, the School introduces the 2-year full-time Higher Diploma Programmes for HKDSE students from the 2012-13 academic year. CUSCS offers a 1-year full-time Diploma Programme in Foundation Studies from 2014-15 to provide DSE graduates an alternative option for further studies.
