Undergraduate Curriculum Structure
The College adopts a 4-year curriculum for all bachelor’s degree programmes. All students admitted as from 2014/15 follow the College’s new Undergraduate Curriculum Structure.
The New Undergraduate Curriculum Structure comprises 3 components: Major Studies, Common Core Requirement, and Free Electives. The total number of modules varies across individual programmes.
Apart from the Major Studies, students are required to take at least 15 modules, under the Common Core Requirement, on General Education, Languages, and Quantitative and IT skills. This structure aims to enhance students’ generic skills and broaden their intellectual horizons.
