As a global jewellery trade centre, Hong Kong has experienced growing demand from emerging markets in recent years, presenting a revival opportunity for the jewellery industry. Supported by the AGIL and industry partners, HKMU has launched Hong Kong’s first applied degree programme in gemmology and jewellery studies, available in a distance-learning module, which aims to equip students with both theoretical and practical knowledge in the gemstone and jewellery industry, to meet the demand for nurturing talent for the gemmology industry.

He stated, “This applied degree programme systematises the training of professionals in the gemstone and jewellery industry and further solidifies Hong Kong’s leading position in gemmology and jewellery education, testing and certification, research, and industry development.
