Dr Kat LEUNG, Vice-President (Administration) and Secretary of SFU, said the most popular programme areas include nursing, physiotherapy, social work and artificial intelligence, while the new programme Bachelor of Crime and Security Science (Honours) launched this year has also received good response. Dr LEUNG also pointed out that professional qualifications can be obtained through studying SFU's Higher Diploma programmes, and the career prospect is comparable with Undergraduate programmes. Moreover, SFU offers a flexible '2+2' articulation pathway, upon completion of two-year Higher Diploma studies, students are able to enter Year 3 of an Undergraduate programme, or start working and study a Part-time Undergraduate programme afterwards.
