Lingnan Institute of Further Education was established in 2001. LIFE strives for further enhancement on four salient areas in its future development plan and they are: Student Learning, Quality Assurance, Programme Development, and Staff Development.
Student learning is always top priority; putting students at the heart of the learning process, is LIFE's central mission. By adopting the student-centred approach, LIFE is committed to providing all-round education to students and caring about the whole-person development of our students which is characterized by innovativeness in teaching and learning.
With headquarters situated in Lingnan University, LIFE aims for betterment to cultivate a fascinating learning environment by offering a university campus and well-equipped downtown education centres which provide full access to all brand-new learning facilities and amenities. The learning environment at our education centres will be further enhanced by furnishing with extra educational hardware which is known as the necessary vehicle for moving students to high gear in their intellectual development.
LIFE's supporting services at education centres are also reinforced. By aligning with the University’s library, students can enjoy library services through the online book reservation system and our book delivery service. Alternatively, students can reach the Central Learning Resources Centre at Tsim Sha Tsui Chinachem Education Centre which is equipped with nearly 5,000 pieces of reference book covering areas of arts & humanities, business studies, social sciences, information technology and tourism.
In addition, strengthening quality is also part of our ongoing mission to help drive the development of LIFE. LIFE is vigilant in the programme quality. All programmes are implemented under the stringent quality assurance system, in which all of our sub-degree programmes are accredited and recognized at Hong Kong Qualifications Framework Level 4.
By the same token, LIFE professional lecturers aim to equip students with a competitive edge.
