The Faculty of Social Sciences with its three constituent departments (Economics, Political Science, and Sociology and Social Policy) offers a unique inter-disciplinary Bachelor of Social Sciences (Honours) Degree Programme in Hong Kong
The Bachelor of Social Sciences (Honours) is an inter-disciplinary degree programme incorporating the four major cognate disciplines of social sciences (viz. economics, politics, psychology and sociology) to study local, regional and global affairs from a China-cum-Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) perspective. As such, the Bachelor of Social Sciences (Honours) Programme constitutes an integral part of the University's mission to become an internationally recognized liberal arts university "with Hong Kong characteristics". The inter-disciplinary structure of the programme of studies is uniquely designed to cope with the increasing complexity of public and economic affairs of the 21st century.
At the graduate level, the Social Sciences Programme offers training at the MPhil and PhD levels. These graduate programmes, by research, covers areas in (a) economic and political aspects of international and Asian Pacific affairs, especially as they may bear on Hong Kong (b) Social issues and public policy analysis, particularly research that offers insight about how to tackle ongoing and impending problems that will affect us.
