Caritas Institute of Higher Education

Founded in 1985 as Caritas Francis Hsu College, the Caritas Institute of Higher Education (CIHE) is committed to the mission of nurturing students who are not only academically and professionally well-educated but who can also contribute to the social and moral well-being of the community.  Three-year post-secondary courses and professional diploma programmes were initially offered. 

CIHE continues to respond to societal and student needs by progressively enriching the undergraduate and professional programmes it provides. The first postgraduate programme was launched in 2021 to enhance students' articulation and career pathways.  Together with its adjoining sister college, Caritas Bianchi College of Careers (CBCC), the Institute establishes multiple, flexible articulation pathways from diploma to postgraduate programmes covering over 35 disciplines.  CIHE, with the support of CBCC, aims to provide quality education opportunities to help students with different needs and from different backgrounds realise their potential.

The Research Office is the centralized unit of Caritas Institute of Higher Education (CIHE) supporting research activities of the Institute. It aims to:

• Enhance the research capacity of staff members and reinforce a research culture in the Institute;
• Identify, promote and support strategic/new areas of research;
• Promote inter-institutional collaborative research between the Institute and other institutions;
• Render support to research activities undertaken by staff members and students;
• Raise the awareness of professional and ethical issues in research.

Career Centre is the bridge between quality education and successful career for students in CIHE and CBCC. Whether you’re looking for a new part-time or permanent job, or looking to enhance your CV or interview skills, we’ll help you get there!
