Knowledge Transfer Project
‘Creating Urban Commons with the Youth’ Programme aims to nurture youngsters to create projects based on the principles of commons, foster community-based lifestyles, support social economy, protect labour rights and promote sustainable consumption.
Capstone Project
The capstone project is a three-credit compulsory course for major students in cultural studies to be offered in the final year of study. It aims to provide students with the opportunity to integrate their academic knowledge and practical skills acquired from their undergraduate study through conducting a research project that comprises (i) a research proposal, (ii) a progress record, (iii) presentation at Capstone fair, and (iv) a final work.
The capstone project should be undertaken as a group of 3 students. Each group will be allocated an academic supervisor, who will help students to identify a topic of interest relevant to the core discipline, and to complete the project through out a term. Students are encouraged to think through and beyond what they have learned in their undergraduate studies and to develop a research project that could contribute to the field of cultural studies and the wider community/society.
