1. Enriching Students’ Learning Experiences
We aspire to enhance students’ learning experiences through both formal and non-formal learning opportunities, drawing on our collective talent to offer meaningful and exciting learning activities. Recognising that professional development in teaching and learning is key to achieving this vision, we have identified three themes to strengthen our capacity as educators and improve the quality of student experiences:
Education and the Student Experience
Themes
1
Virtual Teaching and Learning
We will leverage the affordances of cutting-edge technologies to advance pedagogical innovations and foster a dynamic and flexible learning environment that meets the evolving needs of students in the rapidly changing educational landscape.
2
Authentic learning experiences
We aim to provide students with authentic learning opportunities beyond traditional classrooms through internships, field-based learning, experiential learning, and research-based learning to connect them to society and industry frontlines, thereby equipping them to become future-ready professionals.
3
Cultivating global, regional and national perspectives
We will encourage programmes to integrate global and regional perspectives into our courses, strengthen engagement with our nation and different parts of the world through study tours, internships, field experiences, virtual tutorials, and other learning activities, and promote the adoption of Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) across the Faculty.
Key Performance Indicators
Increase the number of courses incorporating COIL initiatives across programmes from 12 to 35 by 2026.
1
Implement at least one initiative to promote students’ digital competency in every undergraduate programme by 2028.
2
Organise at least one student activity related to UNESCO Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within each academic programme by 2026.

2. Enhancing Teaching Quality and Staff Professional Development
To ensure continuous improvement in teaching quality, we are committed to fostering a culture of professional growth among staff. This involves encouraging innovative teaching practices, collaborative peer support, and ongoing engagement with student feedback. By strengthening our teaching capabilities, we aim to create a more effective and supportive learning environment for both students and staff.
Key Performance Indicators
Contribute at least one student learning experience annually from each department to the FEHD Innovation Hub.
1
Sustain and improve average Student Evaluation of Teaching (SET) scores to 3.5 or above by 2028.
2
Implement a systematic peer support scheme within each department to address evolving teaching needs, including managing large classes, supporting culturally diverse students, and engaging teaching assistants by 2026.

3. Strengthening Programme Offerings, Admissions, and Marketing Strategies
We offer more than 60 programmes at postgraduate, undergraduate, sub-degree, and certificate levels. Ensuring the quality and continuous enhancement of these programmes is fundamental to our daily operations. To provide excellent learning experiences, we need to stay updated on the latest research, government policies, and the changing needs of the workforce in our local, regional, and global communities. Therefore, we will regularly review our existing programmes, update curricula as needed, and develop new programmes to address emerging societal needs. We also plan to expand the reach of our programmes both locally and internationally to attract a wider range of students and better serve broader community needs.
Key Performance Indicators
Form a work group to review professional development programmes by August 2026.
1
Increase the enrolment of non-local first-year students from 33.9% to 40% by September 2028.
2
Enhance the marketing of programmes at the department level by establishing a relevant committee, consisting of at least two colleagues (academic/teaching and administrative staff) within each department by 2025.
