At PolyU, innovation and technology drive an academic environment that fosters national pride, social responsibility, and a global mindset. Our Bachelor's Degree Scheme offers you the time and flexibility to explore various fields and empowers you to make well-informed decisions about your preferred programme.
This Bachelor's Degree Scheme is intended to nurture future scientists and talents by offering holistic, dynamic, and pioneering innovative science-based education. During their first year of study, students can explore different science disciplines via experiential learning through search and discovery processes, thus cultivating their interest in scientific and technological innovations. The common Year 1 curriculum equips our students with the knowledge and skillset to pursue a specific science major according to their aspirations, ability, and interests, beginning in their second year of study.
All admitted students embark on a Common Year One curriculum. Towards the end of year one, students can choose their preferred programme through a ranking assessment, which considers a combination of entrance qualification score, Year One GPA, and interview performance.
Students will receive one of the following awards upon successful completion of the programme:
- BSc (Hons) in Applied Biology with Biotechnology
- BSc (Hons) in Chemical Technology
- BSc (Hons) in Food Safety and Technology
- BSc (Hons) in Human Nutrition and Health/BSc (Hons) in Human Nutrition and Health (Nutrition in Practice) (subject to approval)
- BSc (Hons) in Physics with a Secondary Major in Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics/BSc (Hons) in Physics with a Secondary Major in Innovation and Entrepreneurship
Objective:
-
To provide a flexible opportunity for students to explore the beauty of different science disciplines before committing to a major area of study;
-
To enrich students’ educational journeys by providing a great diversity of study options and learning experiences;
-
To cultivate in students a mindset that embraces risk-taking and creativity and thus facilitates the transition of innovative ideas into practical applications;
-
To develop skillsets in analysing and proposing solutions to real-life scientific and technological problems; and
-
To provide training in intercultural communication and promote an understanding of global citizenship.
