The College of Undergraduate Studies (CUS) successfully hosted the BDSIS Networking Session on 28 October 2026 at PolyU's Global Student Hub. The event brought together secondary school vice principals and careers teachers and to learn more about PolyU's flagship programme, the Bachelor's Degree Scheme in Interdisciplinary Studies (BDSIS), and the unique opportunities offered through interdisciplinary education.
The event commenced with welcoming remarks by Prof. Daniel Shek, Associate Vice President (Undergraduate Programme) and Dean of CUS, who shared the vision of BDSIS and highlighted the growing importance of interdisciplinary learning in preparing students to navigate an increasingly complex and interconnected world.
Prof. Alan Lau, Associate Dean of CUS and Programme Leader of BDSIS, then introduced the programme's distinctive features, including its flexible curriculum structure, personalised learning pathways, Four-tier Academic Advising System, admissions arrangements, and graduation requirements.
During the networking session, participants engaged in fruitful discussions with the professors and programme team on curriculum design, student development, and admissions matters. They also explored the AI-powered Personalised 4-Year BDSIS Curriculum Planner, which demonstrates how students can design customised interdisciplinary study plans based on their interests, aspirations, and career goals.
The College would like to thank all school representatives for their support and engagement. We look forward to strengthening our collaboration with schools and empowering future-ready talents through innovative interdisciplinary education.
