CULTURAL STUDIES

Short Description

Cultural Studies endeavours to understand the political dimensions of culture, examining the ways in which culture is a site of contestation, conveying different ideologies, and embodying different values as well as emotions of the people. Our programme facilitates a critical and interdisciplinary study of contemporary local and global culture so that students may envisage alternative ways of life and social changes. Through close analysis of a variety of texts - including films, all kinds of performance, city as well as virtual space of the web, issues related to everyday life, media representation, gender and sexuality, and cultural development will be discussed.

Calculation of scores for applicants with more than 1 sitting in HKDSE Examination

Most programmes offered by CUHK consider the best results in the same subject taken by a candidate in more than one sitting of HKDSE. Some programmes may have specific arrangements and the admission scores of candidates seeking admission on the strength of results from more than one sitting of HKDSE may be adjusted.
