The HKIIT programmes cover in-demand and emerging IT skills in areas such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cybersecurity, Data Science, Web 3.0, Internet of Things, and more, with a view to nurturing all-round IT talent. The first cohort of HKIIT students will commence their studies in 2024/25 academic year.

HKIIT has been developed from the IT discipline of the Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education to an IT specialised institute. It will continue to be led by an experienced teaching team in the 2024/25 academic year, offering practical IT Higher Diploma and Diploma of Foundation Studies programmes closely aligned with industry needs to students. HKIIT aims to cultivate students’ professional knowledge and skills in the IT field, ensuring industry-specific learning contents, facilities, and internship opportunities through closer collaboration with the industry, guiding young people to excel in the IT profession.
