Since HKU SPACE was established in 1957, it has not only opened up a vast range of  lifelong learning opportunities for the community, but also created many new precedents in response to the needs of the public.  After 63 years serving the public, our initial enrolment of 330 students reached an accumulated total of 3 million in 2020, marking an important milestone for the School.

The School is deeply grateful for the support and trust the community has shown in the institution over the years. Now, with the emergence of today’s social distancing “New Normal”  we have had to adapt and make many changes. But the public’s thirst for  self-improvement, continuous learning and new skills has continued to grow.

To address these needs, the School will continue to fulfil its social responsibilities by providing ever more diverse programmes for citizens from all walks of life, and by nurturing new talent for different industries to meet the needs of society and support the individual development of the students.
