Press Invitation Gratia Christian College Establishment Press Conference More bachelor degree choices for DSE graduates Gratia Christian College born today to produce new breed of professionals Gratia Christian College (GCC) will be launched on 14 July 2015 under the Post-Secondary Colleges Ordinance and Regulations (CAP 320). Every year, about 26,000 DSE students fulfill the minimum requirement for university entry, only about 15,000 University Grants Committee UGC-funded degree places are available. There is a shortage in degree places in Hong Kong. With the increasing critical need for integrity and humanity in corporations and organizations around the world, employers attach great importance to recruiting graduates with good character to match their professional competence. Dr. Hong Sheung CHUI, former Hang Seng School of Commerce president and founding president of Hang Seng Management College, established GCC with the vision of excelling in liberal arts and professional education for developing servant leaders. GCC provides a new choice for this year’s DSE students. It offers three full-time 4-year Bachelor degree (Honours) programmes in Social Work, Psychology, and Business Administration (Service Marketing and Management). All Programmes have been approved by the Hong Kong Council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications (HKCAAVQ). The first year intake is 180 students. “GCC is the first degree-granting institution emphasizing character building. Students will be encouraged to practise the core values of “CHRIST” (Commitment, Humility, Resilience, Integrity, Service, and Teamwork). This unique quality in producing all-round professionals will definitely be a complement to Hong Kong’s tertiary education landscape,” said Dr. CHUI, President of Gratia Christian College. GCC is committed to providing all-rounded and professional education to nurture professionals with both ability and morality to serve Hong Kong and the world. To celebrate the establishment of GCC, an Info Truck will visit different districts to provide academic information and consultation to potential applicants. Gratia Christian College Establishment Press Conference will be held on 14 July, 2015 at the College, followed by a launch of the GCC Info Truck. Media is welcome to attend the press conference and the launch of GCC Info Truck.
