The Open University of Hong Kong is a pioneer in open and distance education. The University, formerly known as The Open Learning Institute of Hong Kong, was founded by the government on 1989.
Since its establishment, the college has been committed to the mission of "teaching without class" and providing high-quality and flexible learning opportunities for on-the-job people. After years of steady development, CUHK was renamed "The Open University of Hong Kong" in May 1997, which indicated that its academic achievements and contribution to higher education were widely recognized by the outside world.
To tie in with the education reform in Hong Kong, the university launched five full-time face-to-face sub-degree courses for the first time in 20001,and launched the first full-time face-to-face degree course in 2003, which attracted many secondary school graduates to enroll and the number of students continued to increase. In 2007, the University of Hong Kong joined the "Joint Admission Method for Universities", which is an important milestone for universities, showing that its strength is no different from that of other local government-funded universities.
