Short Description
If students are interested in studying human behaviour and society or wish to become a future leader in public service, education, industry and commerce, the Bachelor of Social Sciences should be the choice. The flexible programme structure provides students with freedom to decide which discipline they wish to major in after the first year of study, without any quota constraint. Off-campus learning is emphasized through the participation in internships or overseas academic exchange to provide opportunities for students to apply the knowledge acquired to the practical environment and to enhance their international exposure.
Students may choose to major in one of the five core disciplines including China Studies; Geography; Politics and Public Administration; Social Policy and Social Development; and Sociology. They may also opt for one of the following programmes as an additional second major, including Cognitive Science; Counselling; Criminology; Media and Cultural Studies; Neuroscience; Psychology and Urban Governance. Alternatively, students may opt for a second major / a minor in a variety of disciplines from Faculties of Arts, Business and Economics, Engineering, Law and Science.
