Flexible modular program structures will be designed to facilitate
interdisciplinary studies, in which core skills and values will be
developed in a broad curriculum with specialist majors at its center.
Abundant research opportunities will help ceate a learning environment
rich in problem-solving and creative-thinking. Overseas exchange and
internships will be expanded to attract more non-local students.
In May 2006, the University submitted a detailed, four-year
undergraduate degree plan to the University Grants Committee. It
incorporates the Strategic Plan’s vision of a multidisciplinary education
that prepares students for their role as creative thinkers, innovators
and leaders of tomorrow. It highlights the adoption of a set of learning
outcomes with emphasis on academic excellence, intellectual breadth
and personal development. To achieve these learning outcomes, the
creation of a new school for inter-disciplinary studies is underway.
Campus Life
At HKUST, we embrace an all-round educational philosophy that views
enrichment outside regular academic programs and social activities as
an essential part of university experience. We provide a campus life
conducive to the nurturing of leaders and life-long learners.
The University actively encourages students to be participants, not
observers. All first-year students are to stay on campus for at least one
semester to help them develop a community spirit. Students may join
any of the 100-plus student societies in interest-broadening pursuits.
All first-year students are required to take a specially designed non
credit-earning “Healthy Life Style” course as a graduation requirement.
Designed to encourage students to form a lifelong habit of
incorporating physical activity into their schedules, this particular course
requires all students to learn basic skills in one sporting activity. The
program also successfully mobilizes students to help each other with
students serving, for example, as helpers in fitness assessments and
organizers in intra-mural sports.
大學將因應跨學科學習,設計出更具彈性的寬廣
課程結構,以專業本科為中心,輔以其他課程,
從而發展核心技能和價值觀。課程亦將提供大量
的研究機會,以營造一個鼓勵解決問題,以及充
滿創意的學習環境。此外,海外交換生及實習計
劃亦將會擴展,以吸納更多海外學生。
本校已於2006年5月向大學教育資助委員會,遞
交一份詳盡的四年大學課程計劃,其中包含了策
略發展計劃的目標,藉著跨學科教育,培育學生
的創意思考,成為未來的改革者及領袖,並凸顯
出採納一套以高質教學、知識寬廣及個人發展為
重點的教學目標。為達到這個目標,本校正籌建
跨學科學院。
校園生活
科大一向秉承全面發展的教育理念,學習及社交
活動以外的校園生活,亦是珍貴的大學體驗。
我們的校園,是孕育未來領袖和終生學習者的
苗圃。
我們積極鼓勵每一位學生踴躍參與,不要只做旁
觀者。為了培養學生的社群精神,所有一年級的
學生,最少有一個學期可以留宿校園。學生亦可
自由參加大學內逾一百個的學生組織,發掘自己
的興趣。此外,所有一年級的學生,均須修讀不
計學分的健康生活模式課程,這是畢業的必要
條件。
這課程要求學生學習某項運動的基本技巧,以養
成終生的習慣,把運動融入日常生活之中。與此
同時,課程亦成功推動學生積極參與學生服務,
如擔當體能測試義工及協助組織系際運動比賽。
