In 1956, Hong Kong Baptist College was founded by the Baptist Convention of Hong Kong as a post-secondary college committed to the provision of whole person education. In 1983, Hong Kong Baptist College became a fully-funded public tertiary institution. It gained university status and was renamed Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) in 1994.

HKBU prides itself on its dual focus on teaching and research and encourages service to society among its staff and students. Over the years, the University has remained committed to academic excellence and the development of the whole person and has gained a reputation as one of Asia’s finest institutions of higher learning.

Programmes
The University’s educational goal is to nurture future-shaping students. We aim to equip students to design, implement and contribute in the future social and financial systems. We offer a wide range of undergraduate programmes, providing students with the choice of the major and study pathway. Students may choose the structured, transdisciplinary or individualised pathway. They may “mix-and-match” different curricular components, majors, second majors, concentrations, minors and electives according to their personal aspirations.

Through the diverse range of learning experiences, students will develop creativity, cultural awareness, the ability to synthesise different perspectives and a high ethical standard. Students are not only knowledgeable in their own disciplines, but also ready to collaborate in a transdisciplinary team for a better world.

In addition to undergraduate programmes, the University also offers associate degree and higher diploma programmes as well as taught postgraduate programmes and research postgraduate programmes leading to the award of master and doctoral degrees.

Faculties/Schools
The seven Faculties/Schools -- Arts and Social Sciences, Business, Chinese Medicine, Communication, Creative Arts, Science, and Continuing Education -- offer undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in various disciplines. Please visit their websites for more details on the programmes offered:

Transdisciplinary Programmes
The University envisions the importance of transdisciplinary innovations in response to the global challenges and offers a flexible curriculum structure that is much more agile and fits the present and yet-to-known future needs. The Faculties/Schools put together their expertise to offer five transdisciplinary programmes with the support of the Division of Transdisciplinary Undergraduate Programmes.

  • JS2920 Bachelor of Arts and Science (Hons) in Arts and Technology
  • JS2930 Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Business Adminsitration (Global Entertainment)
  • JS2940 Bachelor of Social Sciences (Hons) / Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Innovation in Health and Social Well-Being
  • JS2950 Bachelor of Arts, Science and Technology (Hons) in Individualised Major
  • JS2960 Bachelor of Arts and Science (Hons) in Digital Futures and Humanities

Transdisciplinary Second Majors / Second Majors
Seven new transdisciplinary second majors (TSMs) and two new second majors (SMs) will be introduced in the 2025/26 academic year. TSMs are geared for particular talent needs in Hong Kong and prepare students to pool knowledge from different disciplines to excel in multiple careers, whereas SMs prepare students to gain in-depth knowledge from another discipline to complement the first major. This approach equips students not only for their careers, but also the future development of their respective fields.

Transdisciplinary Second Majors

  • Cultural Industry Management
  • Creative Industry Management
  • Digital Entertainment
  • Interactive Media Publishing
  • Green Technology and Sustainability Management
  • Applied AI for Sustainable Society
  • Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management

Second Majors

  • AI and Data Science
  • Testing Sciences
Students of designated programmes can declare one TSM or SM in their second year of study*. The study of the TSM / SM normally commences in Year 3. More details will be available in due course.

* TSMs or SMs are not available to students admitted to Transdisciplinary programmes (JS2920 to JS2960 as listed above), dual/double/combined degree programmes and other programmes which may not be able to make arrangements for their students to opt for a TSM or SM.


Undergraduate Curriculum
Under the undergraduate curriculum, students are required to complete a minimum of 128 units across four broad categories, including the major core requirements, free electives, the University Core requirements, and General Education (GE) courses. For students pursuing a TSM/SM, they are required to complete a minimum of 134 units.

The 18-unit GE Programme provides the foundation of a well-rounded university education by exposing students to integrated broad-based knowledge, transferable core skills, guiding principles, and attitudes essential for their future professional and personal endeavours. Through establishing such a multi-dimensional foundation in GE courses, students will construct a holistic understanding of the world around them, forging connections at personal, societal, and historical levels. Assimilating all these into their unique personal talents, students will be able to determine how to best contribute to the complex and ever-changing global community. The GE Programme offers students a 3-tier progressive interdisciplinary learning opportunity, including Level 1 Foundational Courses, Level 2 Interdisciplinary Thematic Courses, and Level 3 GE Capstone.

Service-Learning (http://cisl.hkbu.edu.hk)

The Centre for Innovative Service-Learning (CISL) works with various departments to offer credit-bearing academic service-learning courses and activities to students. Students can take advantage of the exciting opportunity to “serve and learn” by engaging in meaningful projects that address community needs. Through service-learning, HKBU endeavours to deliver best student experiences that enhance whole-person development, promote community engagement and inspire a sense of purpose.

Service-learning places equal emphasis on student learning and community benefits. Communities which students work with include but are not limited to the elderly, ethnic minorities, persons with disabilities, and low-income families. Through service, students can apply and deepen their knowledge and skills to address real-world issues and contribute to society. Students will also develop qualities which are increasingly valued in our interconnected world: creativity, multiple perspectives, open-mindedness, communication skills and teamwork, as well as being caring and ethical.

TriAngle (which sounds like “Try & Go”) is a co-working space managed by CISL where students can gather, network, and create impact through creativity and collaboration. Students working on service-learning projects or who are interested in social innovation or social enterprise can avail of feedback and support when designing or scaling up their community projects. We are committed to nurturing community engagement through social innovation events, mentoring programmes, and kick-start funds for eligible initiatives.

Scholarships and Financial Aid (https://sa.hkbu.edu.hk/sfa)
All full-time students with financial needs may apply for financial assistance in the form of grants, bursaries and loans. Scholarships are awarded to selected recipients including new students on the basis of academic merit and other criteria set by the donors (e.g. leadership and services/contribution to the community and non-academic achievements). In addition, eligible students can apply for the First-Generation University Student Fund which provides financial assistance for their participation in overseas exchange and diverse outside-of-classroom learning activities during their studies at HKBU.   

Global Outlook (https://intl.hkbu.edu.hk
The University always enhances the intercultural competencies and global perspectives of students through campus internationalisation, student mobility programmes, and foreign placement opportunities. We actively promote the exchange of students and collaboration with more than 350 institutions outside Hong Kong. Participating students in outbound mobility may also be provided with scholarship or financial assistance. Each year we send hundreds of students abroad on academic exchanges to HKBU partner institutions. At the same time, HKBU welcomes a good number of inbound exchange students from around the globe.

Aided by an international team of academics and visiting scholars, HKBU is committed to creating a cosmopolitan learning environment that helps instill in all students the skills, attitudes and values necessary to acquire a global perspective. The Consul-General-in-Residence Programme is one of the many initiatives that promotes internationalisation on campus.

We also offer many opportunities for local students to participate in overseas study trips, work internships and a diverse range of curricular programmes. Such activities help students gain international experience, broaden their horizons and take a more critical view of their life, knowledge and learning.

Student Development (http://sa.hkbu.edu.hk)
The Office of Student Affairs plays a crucial role in realising the University's vision of providing whole-person education, offering a full array of quality services and programmes, and cultivating a caring, respectful and yet stimulating learning environment on campus to help students develop skills in the areas of psychological competence, leadership and service to society, and readiness for future careers.

Campus Life
The University provides many opportunities and support for co-curricular and extra-curricular learnings to help enrich students' campus experience. Besides academic societies which are composed of students studying the same programme/major, there are different student interest clubs on campus that appeal to the varied interests of students and contribute to the objectives of a broad based liberal arts education. Students are also engaged in the University policy-making processes, in which student voices are addressed through the Student Representatives in the Court, Council, Senate and various levels of committees and user groups.
