Caritas Institute of Higher Education (Chinese: 明愛專上學院) (formerly known as Caritas Francis Hsu College; 明愛徐誠斌學院) is a post-secondary college in Hong Kong established by Caritas Hong Kong in 1985. Until 2011, the College was registered under the Post Secondary Colleges Ordinance (Cap 320) and granted degree-conferring status. It was then renamed to Caritas Institute of Higher Education as an institution authorised to issue academic awards up to academic degree level.
The institute is currently offering bachelor's degree programmes, higher diploma programmes and diploma programmes. The Institute is focused on providing study programmes for those who have fewer opportunities to pursue post-secondary education, as well as those who wish to continue their personal and professional development at any stage of their lives.
In the future, the Institute anticipates strengthening its academic structure and rigour and future plans involve forming a constituent college within the planned Saint Francis University.
AD Destinatum Prosequor
I do not consider that I have made it my own; but one thing I do, forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus (Phil 3:13-14)
Caritas Francis Hsu College was founded in 1985. In its initial operation, the College offered advanced level courses and two-year diploma programmes in Accounting, Management and Computing.
In 1990, The College was approved by the Hong Kong Government to offer post-secondary education programmes, including three-year Professional Diploma programmes, in the discipline of Accounting Studies, Company Secretaryship and Administration, Computing Studies, and Translation and Interpretation.
In 1998, The four programmes were subsequently modified to become the four-year-Higher Diploma programmes.
In 2001, The institute was accorded the registration status as an Approved Post Secondary College.
In 2002, All higher diploma programmes and associate degree programmes were validated and accredited by the HKCAAVQ and were recognized by HKSAR government, professional associations as well as local and overseas higher education institutions.
