About WMG School for Professional Development (Vocational Training Council, Hong Kong)

Sharing the same vision of providing quality education, WMG, the University of Warwick and the Vocational Training Council (VTC) have aligned themselves to provide a valued choice to those who wish to acquire values, knowledge and skills for enhancing their employability.

With the establishment of the WMG School for Professional Development at the VTC, students can receive high quality education in Hong Kong from a world-class university.

With a reputation for excellence in research and teaching, for innovation, and for links with business and industry, Warwick is one of the leading universities in the UK.

We strive to lead rather than follow and are renowned for our entrepreneurialism and global outlook. We are as respected for boundary breaking research as we are for teaching and business collaborations.

Our vision is to be a truly world class university – one with a dynamic, enterprising approach to solving global challenges, that enables students to create their place in the world, and that defines the university of tomorrow.

Established in 1982, the Vocational Training Council（VTC）is the largest vocational and professional education and training provider in Hong Kong.

We deliver a unique combination of world class education with real business and industry application.

We are a multidisciplinary, research-led department renowned for collaborative R&D with global companies, and industry relevant education.

Our approach to education is to add real value to a company through its people. We have practical insight into how innovation can be managed in organisations and how individuals can use effective leadership skills to bring about change and improvement.

We have forged strong links with leading engineering, manufacturing, technology, and service-led companies, as well as key industrial bodies. As one of the largest academic departments at the University of Warwick, our ability to deliver high quality, industrially relevant education is evident in the industry accreditation awarded to many of our programmes.
