PolyU - Opening Minds, Shaping the Future
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.

It is very close to major attractions and it is very convenient to go anywhere.” – Igor Ivankin, International Shipping and Transport Logistics, Russia
“I got to know about PolyU through my brother, who is also studying in Hong Kong, as soon after I got to know about it, I fell in love with it. Growing up in a hospitality background, I always knew I would select a major related to the industry thus, the School of Hotel and Tourism Management became my first choice.” - Pavithra Senevirathne, Hotel Management, Sri Lanka
