\r\nIt is my pleasure to welcome you to our Website. We appreciate your visit and \r\nhope that you will get to know more about us and what LiPACE can offer to \r\nlearners like yourself. <\/p>\r\n

\r\nAs a trusted provider of full-time post-secondary (further) education and part-time programmes, LiPACE is committed to serving the needs of learners from all walks of life. Our students include senior secondary graduates, working professionals, corporate employees, non-profit and public sector clients. The School's full-time Higher Diploma and Diploma programmes cover a wide range of subject areas. Students in these programmes come from diverse backgrounds including Hong Kong, ethnic minorities & other nationalities in HK, and from different provinces and autonomous regions in mainland China. Established as a Centre in 1992 and retitled as an academic School of the Hong Kong Metropolitan University in 2020, we have stayed true to our founding mission of serving the broadest constituency of learners and shall continue to work towards becoming your preferred \u201cLifelong Learning Partner\u201d.<\/p>\r\n

\r\nOur programmes have over the years carved out a niche of their own. LiPACE's Diploma Yi Jin (DYJ) programme offers a wide choice of elective courses that are in tune with developments in the service sector. The Higher Diploma offerings in LiPACE are equally diverse, ranging from high in demand programmes in Health Care to areas at the interface with new technology and specialized human services such as Applied Gerontechnology, Health and Molecular Testing and Animal Assisted Therapy. Meanwhile, our part-time programmes have continued to serve occupational areas requiring staff training and retraining, such as OSH, tree management, property management, elder home supervisory training, etc. We shall follow the same pioneering spirit while developing new professional qualifications that ride on the trends of the creative, digital and experiential economies as well as meeting specialized areas of human service needs.<\/p>\r\n

\r\nLaunched in 2004 and 2009 respectively, our Capacity Building Mileage Programme (CBMP) and Elder Academy both continue to play leading roles in addressing the learning needs of women and senior citizens in the community. Through them, we help to fulfill our University's social mission to reach out to the community.<\/p>\r\n

\r\nAs we mark our 30th anniversary of establishment in 2022, I hope that you will join us soon to start your learning journey and become a member of the LiPACE learning community.<\/p>\r\n
