Aligning with HSUHK’s “Liberal + Professional” education model, the Common Core Curriculum (CCC) is one of the key parts of undergraduate education. Here are the aims and objectives of CCC:

• To provide rigorous general education for students in preparation for their major studies;
• To promote integrative learning through competing critical viewpoints and a variety of pedagogical models;
• To foster the speaking, reading, writing, critical thinking, communication skills and IT and numerical skills necessary for students’ academic studies and future success in an ever-changing world;
• To cultivate students to be literate and responsible participants in the workplace, society and the world; and
• To develop students’ understanding of the ethical values and dimensions of their actions.
