MESSAGE FROM PROGRAMME DIRECTOR
課程總監的話

Education is the last and most important bastion of protecting human civilisation and universal 
values. The ultimate goals of the PPE programme at the HSUHK are to equip students with the critical thinking of philosophers, the governance strategies of politicians and the analytical 
skills of economists, and transform students into public intellectuals with an independent 
spirit and free thinking who devote themselves to enhancing the humankind's well-being. This is 
also our humble contribution to the beloved Hong Kong. 

Different from the Pillar Model of Oxford University's PPE, the Bridge Model adopted by our PPE 
programme focuses more on the cross-domain perspectives and interactive influences of the three 
disciplines of philosophy, politics and economics. We believe that every issue that truly affects 
human society always includes political considerations of power division, economic calculations 
of resource allocation, and philosophical thinking about morals and ethics. Dear students, when 
you feel helpless in the face of difficulties in real life, grab a book and study! You will find 
lots of comrades in our PPE programme! 

Dr WONG Muk Yan 
Associate Professor Department of Social Science 

教育是守護人類文明與普世價值最後和最重要的堡壘。培育學生兼具哲學家的批判思維、政治家的治國策略以及經濟學家的分析能力，讓學生以身為擁有獨立精神與自由思想的公共知識份子為榮，並以實現人類共同福祉為其生命的方向，是我們開辦PPE課程的初衷，亦是我們能為這城市作出的卑微的貢獻。

有別於牛津大學PPE課程的「支柱模式」，恒大PPE採用的「橋樑模式」更著重哲學、政治與經濟三個學科的跨領域角度與交互影響。我們相信，每一個真正影響人類社會的問題，背後都必然包含權力劃分的政治考量、資源分配的經濟計算、以及道德倫理的哲學思考。懷疑人生就去讀書，同學們，當你面對現實生活中的難關感到困頓無助時，去學習吧！你將在我們的課程中找到一班志同道合的朋友！

PROGRAMME FEATURES
課程特色

The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong (HSUHK) BSS-PPE adopts a "Bridge Model" that emphasises the 
interconnection among philosophy, politics and economics. While training in philosophy nurtures 
students with critical and analytical reasoning and a humanistic concern about social and economic problems, training in politics and economics provides them with an important conceptual 
and up-to-date awareness that helps them understand and evaluate what happens around the world. 
Based on these foundational concepts and knowledge, students will acquire comprehensive and 
flexible visions by taking a number of interdisciplinary modules that address how a public problem can be understood, analysed and solved from these three perspectives. We believe that 
the bridge model can equip students with open-mindedness and a comprehensive vision for better 
coping with the ever-changing 21st century. 

香港恒生大學 (恒大) BSS-PPE採用的「橋樑模式」，強調哲學、政治與經濟三個學科的聯繫。哲學訓練培養同學的批評思維，以及對社會議題的⼈⽂關懷；政治及經濟學訓練則加深學同學對理論概念與時事發展的認識，藉以了解和分析世界⼤事，並學習制訂社會政策。在此概念與知識的基礎上，同學將修讀一系列的跨學科科目，學習同時運用哲學、政治與經濟的觀點理解與分析公共問題，並提出解決方案，藉以建立更全面和靈活的視野。我們相信「橋樑」教學模式能更有效開闊同學的思維與眼界，協助他們裝備自己應對瞬息萬變的廿一世紀。
