CAR aims to expand your intellectual capacity beyond disciplinary domains and to enable you to tackle professional and global issues from a multidisciplinary perspective.
CAR includes broader range of academic subjects that use different paradigms, theoretical perspectives and methods of enquiry across the following four cluster areas. Click for the approved CAR subject list in each cluster area.
In addition to the four clusters, there are three attributes embedded in some CAR subjects.
- China Studies Requirement (CSR) to help you understand aspects of Chinese culture, history and contemporary developments.
- English Reading and Writing Requirements (ER/EW) to further enhance your proficiency in English.
- Chinese Reading and Writing Requirements (CR/CW) to further enhance your proficiency in Chinese.
The CAR subjects with the Writing and Reading Requirements will demand more effort and attention on the language aspect in addition to the subject content. To further know about these requirements, please visit English Language Centre and Chinese Language Centre respectively.
What you need to do: Complete at least one 3-credit subject in each of the four areas, among which you have to fulfill the Reading and Writing Requirements in Chinese and English (ER/EW and CR/CW), and China Studies Requirement (CSR).
