Over the course of around 30 meeting sessions, the HKCAAVQ Panel met with about 90 members of the senior management, academic and teaching staff, 15 external stakeholders, 30 current students and alumni. The Panel was generally pleased with our Faculty's capability regarding the proposed Programme Areas in Chinese Studies and English Studies. The official accreditation report is expected around July 2014. The Faculty of Humanities would like to thank all participants of the PAA exercise, particularly the Working Groups for the Programme Areas in Chinese Studies and English Studies. The Faculty would also like to extend the gratitude to all other stakeholders who have contributed to the PAA exercise, including academic, teaching and administrative staff members, students, alumni, external examiners, Faculty Advisory Committee members and internship partners. HKIEd has to go through a three-step process in its quest for a university title. The first step involved the revalidation of programmes complementary to education, which was successfully completed in November 2013. The second step involved the aforementioned PAA exercise. The final step will involve an Institutional Review (IR) by the University Grants Committee (UGC). PAA is the second step of the U-title process after the successful revalidation of the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Language Studies programme hosted by our Faculty. With the granting of self-accreditation status in the Programme Areas of Chinese Studies and English Studies, FHM will be able to develop a wider spectrum of Humanities-related disciplines and offer more courses and minors in the two accredited programme areas complementary to education.
