Our commitment to being a leading global university is supported by three pillars, which provide the framework for our strategy.
We will:
- Fully implement one Mainland/one international opportunities for undergraduate students
- Cultivate a truly cosmopolitan campus through ongoing multipronged reform of classroom, campus and residential experiences
- Support students in maximising their learning for whole person development, fostering responsible citizenship, leadership, a global mindset, and integrity through co-curricular activities and valuable out-of-classroom learning opportunities
- Increase the visibility of undergraduate and taught postgraduate presence, both Mainland and international
- Establish a far wider network of undergraduate and taught postgraduate student recruitment, reaching significantly into all parts of the world beyond our East Asia “home base”
- Deeply embrace digital teaching and learning
