In Year I, students will also choose a Concentration. A Concentration is a seven subject sequence offered in a single discipline by a single department. At present, students may choose a Concentration in English Literature, English Language Studies, Chinese, Chinese History, Western History, or Religion and Philosophy. We expect to add new Concentrations in the coming years. The Humanities Staff and the Student Society plan several cultural activities every term.
Students attend voluntarily.
Besides attending performances in the main arts venues in Hong Kong, the Programme has established a weekly cultural affairs calendar to present films and other programmes on campus. In addition, the Programme sponsors an annual Summer Study Tour to Tsinghua University in Beijing. This visit allows our students to study with Chinese scholars, meet Chinese students, explore the many historical and cultural sites in the Beijing area, and to practice their Putonghua skills. All students must be concerned with life after University. Many students are so concerned with the future that they choose a career before finishing Form 5, choose a vocational university course leading to that career, and then find themselves trapped in a career they do not enjoy.
