For Students

Humanities Programmes

The humanities programmes that we offer cover the following subject areas and disciplines:

Chinese Language and Literature
English Language and Literature
Philosophy
Psychology
Sociology
History
Cultural Studies
Journalism and communication, etc.

These programmes are all designed for students to develop critical and creative thinking, foster an attitude of inquiry, and promote learning interest and self-directed learning.

A holistic transdisciplinary approach is adopted in the study of the humanities. In our humanities programmes, students are posed with cross-disciplinary issues and are engaged in processing information for synthesis, analysis, interpretation and evaluation to develop multiple solutions for the complex issues in our modern time.

The study of the humanities stresses life values and the values of the significant people and events in history. Students are guided to develop an understanding of competing values and the importance of individuals taking a moral stance, alongside with their intellectual development in our humanities programmes.

Our student members are given ample opportunities to pursuit their knowledge; broaden their perspectives; and reflect on their life values in the humanities studies here at the HKAGE. These are all invaluable learning opportunities and experiences on top of those that regular schooling provides.
