This study uses quantitative and qualitative approaches to evaluate student satisfaction with the IHEM Programme at Hong Kong Lingnan University, examining elements such as teaching modes, course content, and workloads. Following adjustments due to COVID-19, a survey of 30 students showed that 67% are satisfied or very satisfied, suggesting that online and hybrid teaching methods did not detract from their satisfaction. Results indicate that students value course content, arrangement, and workload more than the teaching mode in assessing their satisfaction with the program.
