Industries are demanding higher and higher academic qualifications and a Bachelor degree is now the required entry ticket to the corporate world. Therefore, you should plan your future and select the best available route/program to enhance your qualification and your competitiveness. To select an appropriate degree program, you should first make sure that it is accredited by the Hong Kong council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications, This not only ensures top quality of the program but also government recognition. In addition, the articulation path of the program offered by an institute is an important consideration that a one-stop program can allow the students to save a lot of time and efforts and complete their Bachelor degrees in the shortest possible time.

Hong Kong Institute of Technology (HKIT) program is accredited by the Hong Kong council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications and students are eligible for the Financial Assistance Schemes for Post-secondary Students. HKIT has provided the one-stop program to more than 3000 students for the Dual Associate Degree and Bachelor Degree of the Southern Cross University (SCU). Graduates can further work on the SCU Master and Doctorate Degree offered locally in Hong Kong.

International professional recognition is also an important consideration for your program selection since such recognition will definitely enhance your competitiveness against graduates from other local programs. The Bachelor degree offered jointly by HKIT and SCU is widely recognized by professional organizations in Hong Kong and Australia. It is not surprising that the program has a high employment history that 91% of our graduates were employed according to our 2008 survey. Students can transfer their course credits to overseas universities to further their studies aboard and vice versa. HKIT currently offers a one-stop Dual Associate Degree and Bachelor degree programs, which can be completed in around 3 to 4 years.

The overseas degree program offered by HKIT is the only overseas program approved by the Hong Kong council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications. While students are studying the Australian program in Hong Kong, like other local students, they are eligible for the Financial Assistant Schemes for Post-secondary Students.
