Selection of Programme and Subjects
Before submitting applications, students are advised to identify your interested and suitable academic programme and subjects. Subjects chosen here are just for preliminary reference for the host department to enroll you in an appropriate programme. When making your choices, please take note of the following:
- Please take 4 to 6 subjects ( 12 - 18 credits ) per semester ( 3 credits = 42 teaching hours ).
- Please choose at least half of the subjects from a department under a Faculty.
- Please do not choose subject codes starting with 5 or 6 (e.g. MM511, CSE508...etc.) as they are for PolyU postgraduate students only.
