Hang Seng Management College (HSMC) follows the footsteps of its successful predecessor, Hang Seng School of Commerce (HSSC) which was founded in 1980, with funding from the S H Ho Foundation, several Hang Seng Bank founding directors, and Hang Seng Bank Limited. From 1980 to 2009, HSSC was a pioneering and leading provider of post-secondary programmes in business and related areas. In response to the Chief Executive’s Policy Address in 2009 which highlights the growing significance of quality private universities in Hong Kong, HSSC, in 2010, was re-structured into Hang Seng Management College (HSMC), a new non-profit-making private university-level college registered under the Post Secondary Colleges Ordinance (Cap 320) to offer bachelor’s and above degree programmes in diversified disciplines.
