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.
