BCM&BSc(BIOMED)
Short Description
This is a 6-year full-time double degree programme, including a 15-month internship training and an Honours Project. The curriculum of the programme encompasses extensive courses in Chinese medicine, courses in biomedical and clinical Western medicine, as well as courses in General Education and free electives, in an approximate ratio of 6:2:2.
Instructors in this programme use a variety of teaching tools and activities, including multimedia teaching tools, case studies, group discussions, laboratory practice, and hospital visits, to achieve outcome-based teaching and learning. Courses are taught in English, Putonghua, and Cantonese. To uphold the spirit of “Whole Person Development” advocated by the University, 31 credits of General Education courses are included in the curriculum.
Student Learning Experiences
Clinical practice plays an important role in learning Chinese medicine. From Year 1 onward, students are required to undertake clinical practicum training at Chinese medicine clinics run by HKBU and the Chinese Medicine Hospital of Hong Kong. In Years 5 and 6, students are also required to complete an internship of approximately 12 months at a Chinese medicine teaching hospital in Mainland China, followed by a 3-month specialized clinical internship at a Chinese medicine teaching hospital in Mainland China or Chinese medicine clinics run by HKBU.
Career Opportunities
Our graduates become Chinese medicine practitioners, who are in high demand. The licensing system for Chinese medicine practitioners has been in place in Hong Kong since 2003, and our graduates are well prepared to meet its stringent requirements and pass the licensing examinations. In addition to clinical practice, graduates may pursue postgraduate research studies in local or overseas institutions or start their careers in education and administration in the fields of Chinese medicine or public health.
Remarks:
Bachelor of Chinese Medicine is a general programme and Bachelor of Science is an honours programme.
