University College of Estate Management celebrated the grand opening of its Asia-Pacific headquarters in Hong Kong, which took place on 25 February.
Founded in 1919, the College of Estate Management was established to train qualified surveyors to handle estate management and related matters in the UK. The College began to develop and promote its Virtual Learning Environment in 2001 to educate students in over 80 countries and regions worldwide, including Hong Kong. In 2015, the College achieved the title of University College and became University College of Estate Management (UCEM) providing a wide variety of property and construction courses at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
UCEM has been present in Hong Kong for over 40 years, working closely with industry organisations such as The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors (HKIS), Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB).
The opening ceremony was officiated by representatives of The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors, Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, The Chartered Institute of Building, and Legislative Council.
