About Gratia

Overview of

President's Welcome Message

Education is vital to the prosperity of a society and the development and well-being of a person. Under the context of the knowledge-based economy and globalisation, education plays an even more pivotal role in Hong Kong. At Gratia Christian College, we are aligned with the Chief Executive's 2023 policy address and are committed to developing talents with professional competence and good character to serve the community and contribute to the prosperity of Hong Kong through the development of talents needed.

At Gratia Christian College, our commitment to our mission is unwavering. We take pride in our unique courses, which are meticulously designed to foster servant leaders with Christian love, integrity, and professional competence. These courses, spanning Social Work, Education, Business, Psychology, and Christian Ministries, are not just academic pursuits, but a journey towards personal and professional growth. We expect our graduates to be dedicated to life, ready to serve, and competent to lead, with a vision of contributing to the betterment of our society.

Our courses are designed to support secondary school graduates in achieving their vision of pursuing a degree qualification to work as professionals. Students who satisfy the admission criteria can be admitted to a degree programme. Suppose they cannot achieve the minimum qualification for studying a degree programme. In that case, they can apply for a sub-degree programme, which enables them to complete a degree qualification with an articulation arrangement.

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, Gratia has received support from donations and sponsorship since its founding. This support from benevolent organisations, churches, charitable organisations, and individuals 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 recognised and rewarded with different scholarships. 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.

With God's grace and the concerted efforts of our colleagues, Gratia Christian College is celebrating its tenth year of operation. We have witnessed six cohorts of graduates, and more than 400 students have successfully graduated. Most of our graduates have joined the workforce in a profession related to their studies after graduation. This is a testament to the quality of education and the dedication of our students and staff, and we are proud of these achievements.

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.

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.
