Strategic Plan 2021—2025

Education is central to the University’s vision and mission and must work in tandemwith research, student experience and the other equally important components of ‘CUHK 2025’ to propel the University forward. With a strong foundation, there is every confidence that CUHK will be known for its exacting standards and with the Government’s strategy in response to changing conditions in the employment scene. To prepare our students for the challenges of tomorrow, to equip themwith the knowledge, skills and values through formal and non-formal learning, the University must set clear goals and devise appropriate strategies to bring them to fruition. The goals we have set for ourselves in the years 2021–2025 are: • To develop integrative programmes that cross-disciplinary boundaries, enhance global perspectives and inculcate 21st century skills • To adapt programme structure and pedagogy to excel in the New Normal • To enable students to take ownership of their learning and stepping out of their comfort zone • To strengthen postgraduate education as a key to building research and internationalization • To expand CUHK’s leading role and positive impact on the professions and industry as well as the larger community through high-quality sub-degree, professional and continuing education programmes (SPCEP) innovative programmes, enabling our students to meet the challenges of tomorrow. With the support of faculty members, staff, students, alumni and friends of the University, and working closely with industry and government, the future is bright. * UG (Undergraduate); PG (Postgraduate); SPCEP (Sub-degree, Professional and Continuing Education Programmes); GE (General Education); TPg (Taught Postgraduate); RPg (Research Postgraduate); SDG (Sustainable Development Goal) S1: Interdisciplinary research S2: Collaborate with non-local institutions S3: Internationalization of RPg S4: Increase linkage of TPg to research S1: Effective use of technology to support development S2: Micro-credential S3: CUSCS adopts global values & vision S1: Online courses S2: Students participation in teaching development S3: Review policies and regulations S1: Redesign programme structures & assessments S2: Continue eLearning development S3: Mixed-mode teaching S1: Revisit core requirements - IT: 21st century skills - Modern languages - Enhance GE - SDG: GE & beyond S2: Service learning S3: Interdisciplinary programmes S4: Internationalizing the curriculum - Collaborative & dual degree programmes Goals and Strategies ENHANCED CURRICULUM PG UG SPCEP Play a pivotal role in research & internationalization G4 Impact on professions & industries G5 Students taking ownership of learning & stepping out of comfort zone G3 Adaptive programme & pedagogy under new normal G2 Global perspective, 21st century skills, crossing knowledge boundaries G1 CUHK 2025 13
