Home > About HKBU > Integrated Undergraduate Programmes
 
The University offers full-time integrated undergraduate programmes with single and interdisciplinary curricula on a departmental and faculty/school basis, providing students with training for all-round development and enabling them to acquire good transferable skills required by the workplace. The curriculum structure is broad with emphasis on intellectual development and creativity as espoused by the General Education requirements outside the students' major disciplines. Except for the professional programmes, the undergraduate curriculum carries at least 60 units for the major and 36 units of Complementary Studies. The Complementary Studies programme is designed to:
Provide adequate training in the transferable skills;
Fulfil the University's ideal of Whole Person Education;
Encourage students to acquire a body of knowledge in subject areas outside of major disciplines;
Allow greater choice of subjects to encourage students to have a sense of responsibility for their own studies; and
Enable students to choose a minor discipline.
The medium of instruction for formal classroom teaching at HKBU is English, except for those courses that are granted exemption.
