UOW-UOWCHK Alliance
In July 2015, the University of Wollongong (UOW), Australia, assumed stewardship and governance of UOWCHK.
Through this alliance, UOWCHK students’ horizons and learning experiences have been widened and enriched via exchange programmes to UOW's global network of campuses.
Articulation opportunities have been enriched by this partnership as UOWCHK now offers UOW top-up degrees in communications and computer science.
