Founded in 1989, Hong Kong Metropolitan University (HKMU) now become a modern comprehensive university. HKMU tailor their professional programmes to adapt to market trends and meet industry needs, thus providing their students with quality professional education and clear career paths.
Signature programmes in HKMU include areas in high demand, such as nursing, physiotherapy, medical laboratory technology, building services engineering, creative arts, early childhood education, business management and corporate governance. Their efforts and achievements in providing professional education are evidenced by the largest share in the number of subsidized places under the Study Subsidy Scheme for Designated Professions/Sectors (SSSDP), funded by the Hong Kong SAR Government.
  Faculty and staff of HKMU ensure that our students have a solid academic foundation and equip them with essential work skills and capabilities through internships, global immersion programmes, and collaborative initiatives with our business and industry partners.
HKMU launched a Global Faculty Recruitment Campaign to recruit quality academics from all over the world and a Central Faculty Fund to provide additional funding to attract such talent. Also available is the Faculty Advancement Fund for faculty members to undertake scholarly activities locally or overseas for up to 12 months.
  HKMU aims to be a faculty-driven, student-centred university in support of innovative teaching and learning, strategic research, and stakeholder outreach to provide maximum benefit to our communities.
HKMU conduct research that advances knowledge and enhances teaching, focusing on strategic areas, including digital humanities and literature, international business, gerontechnology, smart city, open and innovative education, and bilingual learning and teaching. These research areas are uniquely relevant and beneficial to the development of Hong Kong and the region.
  HKMU is becoming an ever more vital link in addressing and helping Hong Kong to solve many difficult challenges – as part of our involvement in, and commitment to, the ‘metropolis’ of Hong Kong. HKMU plans to expand into the Greater Bay Area (GBA) through the planned HKMU (Zhaoqing) will also cultivate talent to serve Hong Kong and the wider metropolitan GBA.
