This is a great university. The Open University of Hong Kong is a formal new university founded by the Hong Kong government on 1989. It enjoys the qualification of academic self-assessment issued by the Hong Kong government and enjoys the same status as other institutions of higher learning in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. It is one of the institutions that the Hong Kong government allows to award degrees.

The Open University of Hong Kong's full-time undergraduate courses generally take three or four years, while mainland students who have participated in the national unified entrance examination for colleges and universities and are admitted to our school must complete the four-year course and be awarded the "honorary bachelor's degree".

Full-time undergraduate degree courses are divided into autumn and spring semesters every year (except for some special courses and double-degree courses, which are divided into autumn, spring and Xia San semesters every year), and each semester is thirteen weeks.
