The SPACE General English programme consists of 7 tiers with each becoming progressively more difficult. Each tier leads to its own academic awards, spanning from Foundation Certificate to Advanced Diploma in General English awarded within the HKU System through HKU SPACE.
Upon completion of each tier, students may progress to the next level programme by meeting the minimum entry requirements for admission to the specific programme.
Our overall aim is to give students on-going practice of language skills at an appropriate level of proficiency. Under the guidance of very well-qualified and experienced teachers, students are equipped with English knowledge and skills through language practice and student-centred learning activities such as small group discussion, reading, writing, speaking and listening to a wide variety of authentic and semi-authentic language texts.
