About Gratia

Overview of

Message from the President

Gratia Christian College (GCC), established in 2015, is a private Christian tertiary institution that excels in liberal arts and professional education for developing servant leaders to serve the Chinese and global communities with competence and Christian love. Education at Gratia is guided by Christian faith, with an emphasis on the cherished core values of "CHRIST" – Commitment, Humility, Resilience, Integrity, Service, and Teamwork.

The programmes offered by Gratia Christian College are unique and meticulously designed to foster servant leaders with Christian love, integrity, and professional competence. These programmes, spanning Social Work, Education, Business, Psychology, Christian Ministries, and Property and Facilities Management, stand out for their emphasis on personal and professional growth, and their commitment to developing leaders who are dedicated to life, ready to serve, and competent to lead. We expect our graduates to have a vision of contributing to the betterment of our society, making our programmes a unique and attractive choice for prospective students.

We offer a wide range of degree and higher diploma programmes to support secondary school graduates in achieving their vision of pursuing an academic qualification with an articulation arrangement to work as professionals. Part-time mode of study is also provided in some of the programmes offering continuing education opportunities for the working adults to further enhance their professional knowledge and practical experience in the industry. In recent years, in response to the industry's talent needs, the College offered the Professional Diploma and Advanced Diploma courses in Property and Facilities Management.

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, Gratia has received support from donations and sponsorship since its founding. We are deeply grateful to these benevolent organizations, churches, charitable organizations, and individuals, whose support has been instrumental in our ability to provide quality education. Students in GCC with outstanding academic performance, special talent development, and good community services are recognized and rewarded with different scholarships, thanks to the contributions of our donors. The donations we receive also enable us to provide special support to those students with needs, ensuring that every student has the opportunity to receive a quality education. We are truly thankful for the support of our community partners and donors.

With God's grace and the concerted efforts of our colleagues, we have witnessed six cohorts of graduates. Most of our graduates have joined the workforce in a profession related to their studies after graduation while some chose further study through articulation. This is a testament to the quality of education and the dedication of our students and staff in serving the society, making a real difference in our community.

As we step into the academic year 2025-26, we are excited to announce our expansion plan to accommodate the increasing number of students. A new campus in Mei Foo, equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and a conducive learning environment, has been set up and started operation in September this year. This new campus not only accommodates more students but also provides an enhanced learning experience, reflecting our commitment to providing the best education and support possible. This expansion is a testament to our dedication to the future of GCC and the quality of education we strive to provide.

With the unwavering commitment of our academic and administrative teams, we are confident that GCC will continue to reach greater heights. We are dedicated to advancing GCC to become a leading private and independent Christian University rooted in Hong Kong, serve our country, and be open to the world. Our teams are ready to devote our utmost effort to this goal, ensuring our students receive the best education and support possible.

This year marks GCC's 10th anniversary. We will celebrate it to commemorate this occasion which reflects our achievements and God’s grace in the past. It will be a wonderful opportunity to reconnect, reminisce, and look forward to new possibilities in the coming future with God’s continuous blessings. I invite you to explore our website to gain a comprehensive understanding of our College, programmes, services, and governance. You are also most welcome to contact our staff for a deeper insight into our mission, values, and long-term goals.
