I would like to greet you with a personal observation on two very important developments of the 21st century. Interconnected and symbiotic, they are globalization and knowledge-based economies, which affect every facet of our lives, and provide opportunities for intellectual and critical young minds to rise to their promises and challenges through our education system.
As an international financial hub, Hong Kong cherishes quality education in order to stay and become a leader in this arena of competition. It is with this in mind, Hang Seng Management College (HSMC) was set up to provide quality degree programmes in meeting the needs and demands for the further development of a knowledge-based economy and the on-going process of economic, social and political globalization.
The establishment of Hang Seng Management College in September 2010 was built upon the strength of HSSC. Over the past 30 years, HSSC has been a model of pedagogical distinction, nurturing competent, caring and talented students with business expertise and a sense of social responsibility. With our traditional excellence in business education and our commitment to quality teaching, I genuinely believe that the new degree programmes offered by HSMC will continue to produce excellent graduates to meet the growing needs of the business community in Hong Kong.
HSMC has a team of prominent and experienced academics to teach and develop the degree programmes. The College has also successfully acquired five pieces of land (Sites A to E) adjoining the current main building. We have also submitted an application to the Town Planning Board for planning approval of the 6th piece of land. With the expected completion of Site A and Site B in September 2012, the College will offer state-of-the-art learning, teaching and research facilities in a high-technology environment.
Once again, welcome to HSMC where quality teaching is our focus. Our College and staff are prepared to embrace the excitement and challenges ahead, and devote every effort to make your HSMC experience pertinent to your educational goals and career aspirations. I am prepared to lead the College to scale new heights and reach new standard of excellence in the higher education sector. I hope your time at HSMC will be enlightening, fulfilling and pleasurable.
