The four-year Bachelor of Arts (BA) programme offers you an opportunity to explore and enhance your knowledge and experience in the scope of arts and humanities. At the first year of "the year of exploration", students are encouraged to pursue their own special interests but also to explore disciplines that are new to them.  There are a wide range of choices in different subjects, and students are required to take at least 3 introductory Arts courses, normally including the pre-requisite(s) of the programme(s) which may become the major or the minor studies.

At the end of Year 1, students choose on at least 1 out of 22 Arts major.  Having a liberal and flexible curriculum, students are enabled to develop their individual study programmes within a guided and academically coherent framework at Year 2-4.  They can select to pursue an additional Arts/ non-Arts major, or up to two minors. There are also ample opportunities in internship, study abroad and fieldtrips throughout the whole period of undergraduate studies.
