"Boya " and " Professional" also help students develop in all directions
Principal He pointed out that Evergrande combines the advantages of "Bo Ya + professional" to enable students to integrate humanistic thinking on the basis of Boya's vision, review the courses they have taken, and gain a broader and more balanced professional knowledge. "We hope that students will learn about knowledge in different fields and areas, and develop "soft skills" such as discerning thinking, problem solving and innovation, interpersonal communication and cooperation, moral values and responsibility, so that they can confidently deal with future work and face the challenges of life. "
Principal He pointed out that the “Bo Ya+Professional” education model nurtures more professionals and social leaders with both talents and ethics for the society.
Evergrande's liberal education elements are also reflected in the interactive small class teaching and residential college system. The small class teaching mode allows teachers to have more opportunities to contact students, establish a close teacher-student relationship, and provide students with guidance on academic and career development. Teachers and students have more space to express personal opinions and discussions inside and outside the classroom. Evergrande's residential college system allows students to meet with students from different academic departments, establish extensive interpersonal relationships, and enhance their ability to express and collaborate in participating in rich and varied college activities.
Open innovative courses to keep up with the needs of industry talents
Most of Evergrande’s courses are professional-oriented, and the content of the courses is both academic and practical. The school also has close ties with the industry to keep abreast of the latest trends in the global and local markets, understand the needs of talents, and launch innovative courses. "In addition to offering traditional courses such as Chinese, English and business management, Evergrande has also launched many innovative and unique courses in recent years, many of which are pioneers in Hong Kong, including "Data Science and Business Intelligence", "Cultural and Creative Industries" , "Integrated Media and Communication Technology" and "Corporate Governance and Compliance", etc., to meet the needs of the industry and social training." President He continued to point out that Evergrande has the first translation school in Hong Kong, in addition to allowing students In addition to mastering commercial translation and computer-assisted translation skills, it also has a variety of foreign language elective subjects, such as Thai, Indonesian and Burmese, and other ASEAN languages to help students expand their international horizons.
Evergrande has also opened several teaching and student development centers in recent years, such as Wu Bangyi Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center, Youth Sustainable Development Institute, Greater Bay Area Sunac Center and Asian Language Center, etc., to promote professional development of students in many ways. Among them, Wu Zhengyi Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center is designed for students who are interested in starting a business after graduation; students can participate in the center’s start-up incubator program, learn relevant knowledge, accumulate experience, and make a comprehensive preparation for starting their own company.

In order to allow students to accumulate internship experience and lay the foundation for future career development, Principal He said that Evergrande is the most active among many universities in Hong Kong to provide students with local and overseas internship opportunities and promote the "one student, one internship" program. "Hengda's overseas internship program allows students to work overseas or in the Mainland for about 2 months. In addition to gaining practical experience in the workplace, they can also broaden their international horizons, learn to treat people, and train them to understand cross-cultural understanding and solve problems." After four years of study and experience, the overall employment and progression of Hengda graduates are optimistic. Most students find a job within four months of graduation, and some graduates continue to study for masters abroad.
Increase the number of exchange students to build an international campus
Looking ahead, President He hopes to further enhance the international atmosphere on the campus of Evergrande. "We plan to recruit more students of different nationalities, such as Malaysia, Thailand and Taiwan. We are also discussing cooperation plans with universities in many countries and regions. I hope to increase the number of exchange students."
