In support of the government education policy, the School of Continuing and Professional Studies, CUHK (CUSCS) has launched full-time Higher Diploma Programmes since 2002 offering secondary school and Project Yi Jin graduates an alternative route to higher education or professional development. The ever-increasing number of our students confirms our effort in providing quality learning opportunities with whole person development to them. Our diversified programmes span across different professional spectra including Design, Creative Media, Business and Management, Information Technology, Languages and Communication, Social Sciences, and Health Care. They all target at helping our students to build a strong foundation for further academic and professional development. In the academic year 2011/2012, we offer a total of 26 Higher Diploma Programmes, among which "Popular Culture and Media Studies" is newly introduced. This innovative programme aims to equip our students with a solid ground for theories and practice in the area. To facilitate progression to universities for our students, the School has signed articulation agreements with more than 40 renowned overseas and mainland institutes. We also collaborate with Griffith University, Flinders University and Victoria University in Australia to offer various top-up degree programmes. Our graduates can choose to articulate to the senior years of degree programmes in Hong Kong, Mainland China or overseas. Last year, many of them were admitted to local public universities as well as many top-ranked universities in the United Kingdom, Australia and Japan.
