Dual-degree options
Spend two years of your undergraduate studies in France or in the United States.
During your first year, you will select your own combination of disciplines from a broad spectrum of introductory arts and humanities courses. The programme’s flexible curriculum will enable you to have the option to combine an arts major with a variety of other arts and non-arts courses, or concentrate on the major(s) that you intend to declare and study. The Faculty also offers two dual-degree programmes in collaboration with Sciences Po in France and the University of California, Berkeley in the United States. Split your time between HKU and another university overseas to earn two degrees in four years.
Through experiential learning, our Arts students are provided with the opportunity to apply, test and deepen their acquired professional knowledge outside the classroom. Our students are offered many diverse opportunities of experiential learning globally, e.g. student exchange, field trips, internships and short-term study abroad programmes. A number of Arts programmes incorporate experiential learning in their credit-bearing courses and some organise non-credit-bearing experiential activities.
Exit the programme with knowledge as well as advanced analytical, communication, and interpersonal skills. The general degree is an ideal starting block to pursue a wide variety of satisfying careers in the business sector, community service and government, media and advertising, or further studies at the postgraduate level. The Faculty also offers career preparation workshops to equip you with the necessary skill sets in the job market.
