Brief description |
The Open University of Hong Kong (OUHK), formerly the Open Learning Institute of Hong Kong (OLI), is the first university offering open and distance education in Hong Kong. The change of title, in May 1997, reflects the recognition of the University's academic standing, achievements and contributions over the past years. Since its inception in 1989 the University has striven continuously to achieve its mission of providing high quality and flexible further education opportunities for adults. Currently the University offers more than 100 postgraduate, degree, associate degree and sub-degree programmes.
The OUHK uses a flexible credit system under which students earn credits for each course and accumulate credits towards a degree. The OUHK offers great freedom for its students in where and when they study, and provide them with carefully structured materials to guide them through the courses. There are also trained tutors who hold tutorial sessions, comment on and mark assignments, and answer students' queries by phone and correspondence. |
