New 4-year Science Curriculum at HKU — Science Education in 2012 and Beyond Press Conference

04 Oct 2011

The 6901 Bachelor of Science Programme has become one of the most popular programme in JUPAS application since its implementation of common admission policy from 2007.

As the forerunner of science education, the Faculty of Science is well prepared for this new 4-year curriculum. We are constantly updating our curriculum to align with the University's curriculum reform. We have already in place a student advisory system and experiential learning requirements in our existing 3-year curriculum, and we have taken this unprecedented opportunity to critically review our undergraduate curriculum, in the hope of offering our students the best science education programmes. The Bachelor of Education and Bachelor of Science (5-year double degree), jointly offered by the Faculty of Education and the Faculty of Science, will also be available in 2012.
