Tier 3

Tier 4

Study Period
The normative study period for this programme is 1 year for full-time and 2 years for part-time. Classes will be arranged in weekday evenings from 6:45 pm to 9:30 pm. To fit the busy schedule of students who have a full-time job, at least one course will be scheduled in Saturday.
Languages used for teaching
Based on the principle that the language used must be understood by all students in class, a significant number of courses are currently taught in English. For class works and presentations, students are free to use English or Chinese/Cantonese. Courses with large number of students such as compulsory courses are split into two classes: one conduced in English, the other in Cantonese.
