教務委員會
教務委員會是大學的最高學術機構。報告期
內，教務委員會作出多項決策，尤以下列兩項
最為重要。
在教務委員會支持下，務求協調本科生教育
的現行安排獲得認可，以應對2012年實行的
三年學制轉為四年學制所帶來的挑戰。在新
制度下，本科生教育的核心管理將交由三個
辦公室負責，分別是學術副校長/首席副校長
辦公室、學生事務處、及新任本科生教務長
辦公室。
學術副校長/首席副校長辦公室總攬規劃及政
策事宜。學生事務處處長向學術副校長/首席
副校長負責，其職責包括協調校園及住宿生活
方面的本科生及研究生的計劃。
新任本科生教務長亦向學術副校長/首席副校
長負責，其職責包括協調學生取錄、入學、
到適應大學學習、學院間的學術事宜，包括
素質教育及通識教育、與各學院協調發展增
益課程、課堂外活動（如語言訓練）及跨學科
課程、維持及調整學生組合、指導、前途諮詢
及就業輔助。
得益於大學社區的鼎力支持，教務委員會批准
增加科大獎學金的建議。獲得最高獎學金的學
生，每年可享受10萬港元的全額補助，包含
學雜費及生活津貼。獎學金計劃旨在吸引資優
學生前來科大就讀，包括透過大學聯合招生辦
法（JUPAS）、資優生優先錄取計劃（EAS）及
直接入學而錄取的學生。
該等計劃亦適用於積極服務社區，或擁有非學
術特長的學生。科大將為他們提供獎學金，助
其發揮所長。
Senate
The Senate is the supreme academic body of the University. Among
the decisions taken by this body during the report period, two
deserve special mention.
With Senate’s support, the current arrangements for coordinating
undergraduate education have been reorganized to meet the
challenges arising from the transition of the current three-year
program to a four-year program in 2012. Under the new set up,
three offices, namely the Office of the Vice-President for Academic
Affairs/Deputy to the President (VPAA), the Student Affairs Office,
and a new Dean of Undergraduate Education Office, will share the
responsibility for central management of undergraduate education.
The VPAA’s Office will continue to take an overview of planning and
policy issues. The Director of Student Affairs, now reporting to the
VPAA, will be responsible for coordinating all undergraduate and
postgraduate programs for campus and residential life.
The new Dean of Undergraduate Education, also reporting to the
VPAA, will coordinate student recruitment, orientation and the
transition to university studies, cross-School academic matters
including competency education and general education, coordination
with Schools to develop enrichment programs, the co-curriculum
(e.g. language training) and interdisciplinary programs, maintaining
and updating student portfolios, mentoring, career counseling and
placement.
With generous support of members of the University community,
the Senate has found it possible to endorse an increase in the
University’s scholarship offers. Students receiving the highest
scholarship award may now enjoy full subsidy, including tuition fees
and living allowances totaling HK$100,000 a year. These scholarship
schemes are intended to attract outstanding students, including
those admitted through the Joint University Programmes Admissions
System (JUPAS), Early Admission Scheme (EAS) and Direct Entry.
Scholarship offers are further extended to students who actively serve
the community or demonstrate special non-academic talents. Such
scholarships will help them fully develop their potential.
