BULLETIN
POLYTECHNIC ON A SMALL SCALE TO START SOON
The first step in the creation of a Polytechnic in Hong Kong will
involve certain changes to the present set up of the Hong Kong Technical
College in Hung Hom.
These changes will be phased so that a Polytechnic on a small scale
would be in operation well before the second college is completed in 1974.
They will include the addition of new courses in the field of
commerce and the raising of standard levels of several existing courses.
The craft and apprentice courses of the Hung Hom College will be
transferred to the Morrison Hill Technical Institute when the latter is
completed in April next year.
The transfer of the two types of lower level courses would mean
an additional 300 places for students wishing to get training at a higher
level at the Hung Hom College.
Four engineering courses - Electrical, Electronic, Mechanical and
Production Engineering will be extended by one year to four-year courses
to bring them up to the level of Part II of the British Council of Engineering
Institutions Examinations. Students successfully completing the four-year
courses will then have the academic qualification of a Chartered Engineer.
