The "Railway Studies" course is launched as an Applied Learning subject under the HKDSE curriculum for senior secondary school students. This course covers safety in railways, railway technology and railway operations. MTR Academy supports the course as a Knowledge Partner, providing content, facilities and teaching staff.

Hong Kong College of Technology (HKCT) is the course provider of the Applied Learning Subject on "Railway Studies" whose first cohort has been already commenced in September 2018.

MTR Academy aims to raise students' interest in railway-related prospects and nurture our young generation into railway talents by offering related short courses and accredited programmes. Now, we have launched unique short courses whereby secondary school can arrange exclusive classes for students from secondary schools, namely Railway 101 and School Talk or MTR Academy Visit.

We are now introducing a campaign whereby secondary school can arrange exclusive classes for students from Secondary Form 1 and above. We believe our courses are unique and can broaden knowledge of local senior secondary schools students.
