Teaching Arrangment

Study Plan (Study Period – 24 Months)

The schedule below displays details of our most common study plan, consisting of seven periods over 24 months.  This schedule provides students with considerable flexibility, allowing completion of the main Programme coursework requirements, plus supplemental non-credit-bearing courses in civics and business fundamental course, and time to join internship and exchange programme. Please note the following:

•    For Credit Courses – obtain 36 major required credits (21 credits for core courses and 15 credits for elective courses), representing 12 credit-bearing courses (7 core courses and 5 credit-bearing elective courses). Please note that not all courses are offered in every semester.
•    Business Fundamental Course (Non-Credit Course) – 6 courses covering key business fundamentals are offered during the first three terms. Detailed information will be sent to admitted students before the course starts.
•    Civics (Non-Credit) – 2 courses are required for graduation.
•    Internship – For students who have an on-site internship elsewhere, Programme offers a non-credit-bearing elective course named ‘Internship’. Each student can select ‘Internship’ once. Please be aware that the programme DOES NOT directly offer internship opportunity.
•    International Exchange – optional during Year 2, one-term duration.
