The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) is a ugc-funded institution founded in 1994. Its campus is at Hung Hom.
背景 Background
香港理工大學的歷史可追溯至一九三七年成立的香港官立高級工業學院，校舍位於灣仔活道，是香港第一所由政府資助、提供專上程度工科教育的院校。二次大戰後，學院於一九四七年改名為香港工業專門學院；一九五七年紅磡校舍落成，標誌本港工業教育踏入新階段。一九七二年，香港理工學院正式成立，以配合社會的人力需求提供專業教育，其後陸續開辦學位課程。學院取得自我評審資格後，於一九九四年十一月二十五日正式取得大學地位，正名為香港理工大學。
PolyU traces its history to the Government Trade School founded in 1937 at Wood Road, Wan Chai, the first publicly funded post-secondary technical institution in Hong Kong. After the Second World War it became the Hong Kong Technical College in 1947, and the opening of new premises in Hung Hom in 1957 began a new chapter in industrial education. In 1972 the Hong Kong Polytechnic was formally established to provide professional education meeting the community's manpower needs, later introducing degree programmes. Having secured approval for self-accreditation, the institution gained full university status and was renamed The Hong Kong Polytechnic University on 25 November 1994.
