3+3+4 Academic Reform

Core Curriculum

As a key element of the 4-year curriculum, the Core Curriculum aims to provide students with a broad and balanced foundation and exposure to the necessary range of subjects under the new academic structure, in which a cohesive and all-round education is emphasised.

The Core Curriculum will form an essential part of the undergraduate curriculum, not just a peripheral or additional year of foundation study. The courses will be embedded and integrated with the major disciplines throughout the 4-year studies to ensure continuity between core and majors as well as seamless progression of student development.
