Embracing the motto "To Learn and to Apply, for the Benefit of Mankind," PolyU emphasizes the importance of practical training and bridging the gap between classroom theory and workplace application. As the first tertiary institution in Hong Kong to integrate a mandatory Work-Integrated Education (WIE) component into the undergraduate curriculum, PolyU launched this innovative initiative in 2005. It aims to enhance the comprehensive development and professional skills of students as they navigate an ever-evolving and competitive business landscape.
