Teaching quality
The University is committed to promoting learning and teaching initiatives by using the Teaching Development Grants (TDGs) to support projects either at the faculty/departmental or subject levels. The fundamental objective of the projects is to improve the quality of teaching and learning to achieve student learning outcomes, i.e. all-round development of the PolyU students.
PolyU values good teaching. It has established policies and mechanisms to ensure the quality of staff it recruits, it monitors teaching quality, and recognises and rewards staff appropriately for their accomplishments in teaching. It has also set up an institutional structure for promoting quality teaching, and provides a wide range of staff development programmes and activities to empower staff to continually improve their teaching and, ultimately, their students’ learning.
Graduate outcomes
Innovation, creativity and entrepreneurial spirit are part of the PolyU DNA. Its specially-designed courses include internships and service learning. Every day, students gain the skills and experiences they need to respond, adapt and identify applications for their knowledge in the real world.
PolyU has strong partnerships with industries and universities both internationally and in Hong Kong. These collaborations provide valuable opportunities for academic and cultural exchange, internships and job placements.
Graduates leave PolyU with skills and knowledge required in their chosen fields. This translates to high employment rates - 95.4% of PolyU graduates are employed after studies. Employers value highly the skill set that PolyU students have.
International students are able to stay in Hong Kong after graduation for up to 12 months to look for a job and explore their career options. With so many different industries and sectors, many students find themselves drawn to the prospect of working in the city – or even setting up their own business. Fast becoming a hub of entrepreneurial activity, Hong Kong has the infrastructure in place to offer the support and funding opportunities start-ups need to kick start their ventures.
