About Community College of City University of Hong Kong (CCCU)

The Community College of City University (“CCCU”) is well recognized as a premier college in Hong Kong providing quality tertiary education for nearly 6,000 students. CCCU offers a wide range of Associate Degree (AD) programmes, a Diploma in General Studies, and International Language Proficiency Tests with preparatory courses. In addition, in association with the University of Wollongong (UOW), Australia, CCCU offers top-up degrees for Associate Degree or higher diploma graduates.

With about 200 well qualified and dedicated staff, CCCU is highly regarded for its rigor in quality assurance and its emphasis on the whole-person development of students. Significant resources are devoted to devising a rigorous curriculum and arranging overseas study tours and short courses, internships, and career exposure and mentorship programmes that facilitate the intellectual development of students. The College has two well-provisioned campuses in Kowloon Tong and Kowloon Bay, with library and sports facilities for all students.

The majority of graduates progressing to undergraduate programmes have been able to articulate into senior-year places (inclusive of self-funded programmes) offered by University Grants Committee (“UGC”) institutions in Hong Kong. Positive feedback from employers who offer placement opportunities and internships affirms the role CCCU plays in the education, career development and personal growth of our students.
