English & Chinese Language Requirements
Students whose entry qualification in HKDSE English Language/ Chinese Language is below Level 4 are required to take the following additional language courses:
- EL0200A & EL0200B English for Academic Purposes (6 credit units*)
Students who demonstrate that they have achieved a grade B or above in their overall course results for EL0200A will achieve 3 credits and also be considered to have satisfied the pre-requisite for entry to the GE English courses without needing to take EL0200B. - CHIN1001 University Chinese I (3 credit units*)
* The credit units of EL0200A and EL0200B / CHIN1001 will not be counted towards the minimum credit units required for graduation and will not be included in the calculation of the cumulative grade point average (CGPA). However, they will be counted towards the maximum credit units permitted.
For students whose entry qualifications in English Language/ Chinese Language do not fall within those mentioned above:
- English Language Requirement: students will be invited by English Language Centre to sit for an English Placement Test to determine whether they need to take the courses EL0200A and EL0200B. Students may, instead of taking the Test, provide an alternative English proficiency qualification (e.g. TOEFL or IELTS) for consideration by the English Language Centre. A waiver from t taking the EL0200A and EL0200B may be granted for students who have achieved the required English proficiency. For details, please consult the English Language Centre.
- Chinese Language Requirement: students are not required to take additional Chinese course.
College-specified Course
Take any courses that are NOT offered by Department of Mathematics and NOT within the Major requirements (including core courses and electives).
Free Electives / Minor (optional)
Courses that can be used to satisfy Free Electives requirement are:
- Any B-level courses approved by the University for un-restricted registration (not offered by the Department of Mathematics).
- Programme Electives in the BSCM curriculum.
Students with a home major may choose to declare a minor, which is optional, in accordance with the procedures announced by the University. A minor requires 15 to 18 credit units. Credits earned to fulfil the minor requirement cannot be used toward meeting the requirement for a major and/or other minor(s) taken by the student.
