Study close to home:

Our campuses are all located at the heart of Hong Kong and well connected by the MTR networks. No matter which programme you choose, you will become part of one big community of learning. Our students are able to enjoy the facilities in one or even more of the UOWCHK campuses located at:

• Kowloon Bay
• Kowloon City (ready in September 2021)
• Tai Wai (ready in 2024/2025)

The College maintains close links with the industries to enable students to require the fundamental skills needed for success in the real world.  Every year, about 2,000 students are engaged in internships, special projects, fieldwork and site visits.

• Be ready for the industry: All programmes are regularly reviewed by the industries concerned so that their graduates well hill suit the needs of the Hong Kong workforce.
• Get noticed by the industry: Work on real industry-sponsored projects, and showcase your work at the faculty's annual project show.
• Be rewarded: UOW works closely with a number of organisations such as the Hong Kong International Airport, Hong Kong Towngas and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals(SPCA) which offer generous oppotunities with work-integrated learning components to our students.
