Message From The President

  Welcome to Tung Wah College (the College)!

Founded by Tung Wah Group of Hospitals (TWGHs) in 2010, the College is a self-financing tertiary institution in Hong Kong. It offers a wide range of high-quality, applied and innovative programmes designed to transform young people’s lives and prepare them to become capable, responsible and caring professionals.

Building on TWGHs’ commitment to serving the community and humanity, the College offers programmes that respond to the evolving needs of Hong Kong and the wider region. With around 6,100 students, it currently provides doctoral, master’s, bachelor’s and sub-degree programmes, as well as certificate courses, across four disciplines: arts and humanities, management, medical and health sciences, and nursing. These programmes serve learners from diverse backgrounds and with varied educational aspirations.

Alongside its commitment to teaching excellence, the College places strong emphasis on applied research. As a trusted higher education institution committed to meaningful and transformative impact, it has developed a range of applied research initiatives that seek to drive positive societal change through collaboration with the Government and industry partners.

Strongly supported by TWGHs, the College is on a clear and steady path to a private university and a University of Applied Sciences (UAS), underpinned by a series of notable achievements that demonstrate its academic strength, innovation, and societal impact:

• Being a self-financing tertiary institution with an acknowledged strength in healthcare education, the College has nurtured more than 8,200 graduates since its establishment.
• Being the first and only self-financing tertiary institution in Hong Kong to launch five professionally accredited nursing and allied health degree programmes. These include the programmes for educating nurses, medical laboratory technologists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and radiation therapists.
• Being the first self-financing tertiary institution in Hong Kong to launch bachelor’s degree programmes in social and business sustainability, health information and services management, applied gerontology, and medical imaging.
• Being the first self-financing tertiary institution in Hong Kong to launch the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Nursing.
• Being the first self-financing tertiary institution in Hong Kong to launch a Translational Research Centre for Digital Mental Health.

Building on this strong foundation, the College has adopted “Transformation and Community Impact” as the overarching theme of its new five-year strategic plan. We aim to be a transformative force by broadening our scope and strengthening our position to become a leading University of Applied Sciences in the Asia-Pacific region. We will pursue excellence across diverse disciplines by integrating education, research and industry partnerships.

In support of the Government’s vision in the Chief Executive’s 2026 Policy Address to develop Hong Kong further as an international education hub, the College will continue to strengthen its ties with international and regional partners. By fostering collaboration among industry, academia and the research community, we will support Hong Kong’s long-term growth and contribute to the nation’s broader development.
