Celebrating 35 years of WMG's partnership with PolyU
2025 marks the 35th anniversary of the partnership between WMG and Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU). Initiated in 1990, the partnership was the first of its kind in WMG history and remains an exemplary model of international academic collaboration.
To mark this milestone, representatives from both institutions came together for a special celebration dinner at PolyU. The event honoured two anniversaries: 35 years of the Integrated Graduate Development Scheme (IGDS), which marked WMG鈥檚 first-ever overseas programme, and 65 years of the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE), the PolyU department that helped start it all.
