东华学院校长陈慧芝教授宣布，该校计划在申请获批后采用“香港东华大学”之名。该校将于4月接受机构评审，此前已获当局首肯。陈教授表示对评审充满信心，认为学院已超出最低要求。
东华学院位于何文田，成立16年，其校长陈慧芝教授（Professor Sally Chan Wai-chi）于周四（3月5日）在春季媒体招待会上透露，该校提交了两项申请，以争取大学地位及应用科学大学的资格。这些申请将于4月接受机构评审。
陈教授表示：“我们非常有信心。我们知道我们已达到评审所需水平，实际上，我们已超出最低要求。我们不可能只满足最低要求。”作为国际知名的护理教育与研究学者，陈教授强调学院已做好准备。
根据香港规定，要成为大学，机构须在至少三个学习领域获得课程领域认证（PAA），展示一定研究能力，在过去两个学年维持至少1500名学位课程学生，并获得机构评审地位。东华学院分别于2020年、2024年及2025年获得职业治疗、生物科学及应用社会科学领域的PAA地位。
若申请获批，该校拟采用“香港东华大学”之名。此评审结果将决定其能否升级为大学。
