Development of Hong Kong Principles

It is in the nature of the operating agreement between CNAA and UPGC that a more Hong Kong orientated method

of validating these courses may develop over a period of time, and that the CNAA/UPGC agreement could lapse and be overtaken by new machinery. In the interim period CNAA will at any time be receptive to the emergence of a set of Hong Kong principles having the endorsement of UPGC.

Basis of Validation

It is not considered possible in this developing situation to set down a single statement concerning standards. CNAA will report to UPGC on the quality of each course against the following factors :

(a) Any steps which would need to be taken to

ensure that each course attained and

continued to attain an academic level at least comparable to that of courses approved by CNAA in the U.K. The standards of CNAA degrees in the UK which, while now largely 'self calibrating', are tied by Charter to the Standards of UK university degrees.

In the same way, the standards and particular characteristics of degree courses in the two H.K. Universities shall be taken into

account so far as CNAA has these drawn to

its attention, or has facilities made available to it by the courtesy of those institutions to establish such character-

istics.
