Founded in 1989, The Open University of Hong Kong today is a modern full-fledged university today with over 10,000 full-time undergraduates, 1,900 postgraduates and 8,700 part-time students.

Over the years, the University has pursued its core mission of advancing learning, knowledge and research that meet students’ learning aspirations and society’s talent needs.  With this in mind, the University has been tailoring its professional programmes to market trends and industry needs, thus providing students with clear career paths.  At the same time, the University has built up its expertise to conduct research focusing on strategic areas that are relevant and beneficial to the community.

Currently, the University offers 220 programmes in its 5 Schools namely School of Arts and Social Sciences, Lee Shau Kee School of Business and Administration, School of Education and Languages, School of Nursing and Health Studies and School of Science and Technology.  In addition, there are more than 2,000 full-time and 2,000 part-time students studying in Li Ka Shing School of Professional and Continuing Education (LiPACE).  Our 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) in Hong Kong.
