Specialised Concentrations (Declared at the End of Year 2)

Research Track: Academic Inquiry and Research Excellence

Students in the Research Track are encouraged to develop their own research interests and scholarly aspirations. Where appropriate, they may be paired with a Full Professor for academic mentorship and potential research collaboration, providing valuable exposure to advanced scholarly inquiry and research practice.

Impact Track: Social Innovation, Public Leadership and Enterprise

Students in the Impact Track will also engage with senior practitioners and recognised leaders from business, government, and civil society. These interactions provide opportunities to gain practical insights into leadership, public engagement, social innovation, organisational change, and cross-sector collaboration.

Faculty Mentorship, Whole-Person Development and Student-Centred Coaching

Reflecting the Faculty’s commitment to whole-person development, each student is paired upon admission with a member of the Faculty’s Deanery leadership team, who provides mentorship and guidance throughout the undergraduate journey. Through a combination of academic advising, developmental coaching, and reflective learning, students are supported in their intellectual growth, leadership development, personal wellbeing, and future planning.

Student-Initiated Learning Journey and Dedicated Study Grant

Consistent with the programme’s belief in student-directed learning, students are encouraged to shape aspects of their own educational experience through individually designed learning opportunities. To support these pursuits, students may benefit from admission scholarships and a dedicated study grant of up to HKD 100,000, which can be used for approved activities such as overseas study, student-led research, social innovation initiatives, entrepreneurial ventures, and professional development opportunities.

Accelerated 4+1 Articulation Pathway

Global Horizons and International Enrichment
