Social Sciences Programmes at Lingnan University include undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.
Courses are mainly offered by Department of
Economics, Department of Political
Science, Department of Sociology and
Social Policy and other relevant departments in Lingnan. Staff in
departments have extensive teaching, professional and research experiences in
the fields of social sciences.
At the undergraduate level, the Bachelor of Social Sciences (Honours.) is an inter-disciplinary degree programme incorporating the four major cognate disciplines of social sciences (viz. economics, politics and sociology and psychology ) 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, covering e.g. ageing, public housing and transportation, education and manpower supply, medical and health care, environmental protection, and social welfare and social security.
