Established in 1975, the School of Continuing Education (SCE) of Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) offers a wide range of full-time and part-time programmes with multi-faceted teaching approaches incorporated through its College of International Education (CIE), Continuing and Professional Education Division (CPED), Early Childhood and Elementary Education Division (ECEED) as well as Division of Nursing Education (DNE) to meet the needs and challenges of the rapidly changing society. A robust quality assurance system aligned with the University’s quality assurance requirements is adopted to ensure that high standards are achieved and learners’ needs are satisfied. In 2018, the sub-degree programmes offered by the School were held in high regard by the Quality Assurance Council of the University Grants Committee in the aspects of teaching and learning, student development and support facilities.
