he School of Humanities and Social Science comprises two
divisions — the Division of Humanities and the Division of Social
Science. It does not offer undergraduate degrees, but both
divisions offer postgraduate work by means of taught Master of Arts
degree programs and the research degrees of Master of Philosophy
and Doctor of Philosophy.
To ensure a broad, holistic education for our students, the University
requires that all undergraduates take at least one course in the
humanities for general education purposes. The School offers a wide
selection of courses, including art history, film, linguistics, literature,
history, anthropology, philosophy and religion. Also offered are studies
in the Chinese cultural heritage and in other fields, with the aim of
extending students’ knowledge and widening their field of vision.
Through the training of our general education courses, students are
expected to develop their capacities of reading and writing, to be aware
of concepts, ideas and systems of thought that underlie human
activities, and to heighten their concern about human society, about
how the past constructs the present, and how modern science and
technology affect human life.
