Han Chiang College

Han Chiang College was established as a non-profit organization in July 1999. Although the College is only eight years old, it has established a reputation as a key player in the education industry since 1978, The College, which is renowned for its quality Journalism programme under the School of Journalism, had initially offered this programme under the auspices of Han Chiang High School. The programme was very successful in training budding journalists for the local media industry,

From Journalism, the College has expanded its horizons and made its foray into other disciplines such as Mass Communication, Business and Information Technology in 1999 to keep up with emerging trends. Today Han Chiang College offers two-and-a-half year Diploma programmes in Mass Communication, Broadcast Journalism, Business Management, Logistics Management, Accounting, Information Technology, Network Technology, Chinese Studies, Multimedia Design and Electronic Engineering,

In order to promote life-long learning, a Continuing Education Centre was set up in 2004, The Centre offers a variety of short courses and vocational training programmes for students and working adults,
