• https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/education/article/2175778/cornell-link-cornerstone-veterinary-course The need to set up a dairy farm in Tai Po was one of the many challenges City University of Hong Kong (CityU) faced in its decade-long campaign to introduce a bachelor of veterinary medicine (BVM). But each potential problem was overcome in turn, and the six-year programme is now successfully up and running and preparing to welcome its third intake in September next year. The curriculum was designed to include courses of particular relevance to the Asia-Pacific region, arranged around the themes of animal welfare, aquatic animal health, food safety and emerging infectious diseases. Along the way, students must also meet CityU’s general “gateway education” requirements. In due course they will be expected to meet the accreditation standards set by the Australasian Veterinary Boards Council and the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons to practise professionally. However, the real cornerstone of the curriculum is the four-year Cornell University veterinary medicine programme and the prerequisites it entails.

- 政府由本學年起在全港官津小學逐步推行「一校一社工」，大大增加學位社工的需求，但城市大學及理工大學今年起均停辦自資社工學士學位兼讀制課程。有關注團體不滿城大在同類課程供不應求的情況下仍停辦，昨趁城大社會及行為科學系開會前請願，但該學系的系主任盧鐵榮表明，學系早於數月前已決定不會再討論重開課程。http://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/news/20180914/00176_054.html
