• student-centred approach in teaching and learning, as well as student development;
• staff’s caring attitude towards students;
• high standard of teaching and learning support facilities.

• In 2023, the articulation rate reached 90.7%. Among these graduates, 81.2% were admitted to undergraduate programmes offered by the eight UGC-funded local universities.
• The College places great emphasis on providing different articulation opportunities for students. Students can take the ”2+2” study mode and earn a Bachelor‘s Degree in 4 years.
• CIE offers 27 AD Concentration Studies across the 5 major disciplines of Applied Science, Arts and Languages, Business, Communication, and Social Sciences. The wide range of choices in our curriculum and flexibility in choosing elective courses cater to different interests, talents and aspirations of our students.
• CIE also offers 11 undergraduate programmes to allow AD graduates to earn an HKBU Honours Degree through seamless articulation.

The AD curriculum framework has adopted the HKBU UGC-funded Undergraduate Programme as a blueprint. Certain areas of Concentration Studies such as Music Studies and Visual Arts are offered in collaboration with different Faculties/Schools of HKBU and taught by university lecturers.

• Since the establishment of the College, CIE has nurtured over ten thousand AD graduates who were successfully articulated to local and overseas undergraduate programmes.
• In the past 3 years, there were around 1,700 AD graduates who undertook undergraduate studies in the eight UGC-funded local universities.
