Student Perceptions Towards Local Accreditation of the Non-Local Learning Programmes in Hong Kong

Abstract

This study examines student perceptions towards the local-agency's accreditation of the non-local education programmes in Hong Kong. Prospective students, current students, and graduates of UK-based top-up degree programmes are recruited in the qualitative study. The values of accreditation for students were found in mainly three stages in their study. Meanwhile, student involvement in accreditation exercises and their knowledge about the accreditation process and criteria warrant further enhancement.
