Introduction

The six Faculties/Schools -- Arts and Social Sciences, Business, Chinese Medicine, Communication, Creative Arts, and Science-- offer 22 undergraduate programmes with over 45 majors in various disciplines.

The University adopts a policy of broad-based admissions for most of its programmes. Under broad-based admissions, students can choose to study in their desired Faculty/School and enhance their overall understanding of the disciplines in the first year. After they have studied more about different subjects of the disciplines, they can then make the best choice of major in order to achieve their goals.

The following Faculties adopt broad-based admissions:

Transdisciplinary Second Majors/Second Majors


The University envisions the importance of transdisciplinary innovations in response to global challenges and offers a flexible curriculum structure that is much more agile and fits the present and yet-to-known future needs. 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.  Students pursuing a TSM/SM are required to complete a minimum of 134 units for graduation i.e. 6 more units than the regular graduation requirement.  Please click here for more details.
* TSMs or SMs are not available to students admitted to Transdisciplinary programmes, 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.

HKDSE Category C subjects (Other Languages) normally cannot be used for meeting the entrance requirement on Chinese Language.

Students are therefore strongly advised to obtain the requisite Chinese language qualifications.

Note 1:
The specified conditions are:

a. The student has learned Chinese Language for less than six years while receiving primary and secondary education. This caters specifically to students who have a late start in learning of Chinese Language (e.g. due to their settlement in Hong Kong well past the entry level) or who have been educated in Hong Kong sporadically; or
b. The student has learned Chinese Language for six years or more in schools, but has been taught an adapted and simpler Chinese Language curriculum not normally applicable to the majority of students in our local schools.

Notes to Applicants

To instantly understand the integrity culture of Hong Kong and the application of anti-corruption laws in school admission and other aspects of daily life, please visit the “Understanding Integrity in Seconds” webpage of the Independent Commission Against Corruption of Hong Kong.

Hiring an agency to assist with university admission in Hong Kong is not necessarily illegal. However, if an applicant or intermediary agency uses false documents to apply for admission, it may constitute an offence, such as the use of a false instrument. If the applicant himself or through the intermediary agency offers an advantage to university staff to assist with admission, the applicant may even commit the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance.
