Embracing diversity - putting learning first
A campus enriched by different cultures, languages, ethnicities, genders, points of view, and learning and teaching styles is what we aim for at CityU. Our
University is in the heart of a metropolitan community with extensive global connections. We aim to reflect that cosmopolitan flavour by attracting high quality students and faculty from around the world and encouraging local students to seek academic adventures overseas. Similarly, we promote pedagogic styles that reach beyond traditional institutional learning (lectures, classroom). At CityU, we spotlight learning-centric education that builds pathways for sustainable careers; inspirational learning that presents the spark for dynamic self-motivation; interactive learning that encourages intellectual exchange and sharing; and innovative learning that emboldens the pursuit of invention and creativity.
