RPg students from the 2022/23 cohort onwards are required to complete the e-learning module on “Understanding China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, P.R.C.” and pass an assessment before thesis submission as a graduation requirement. Students are encouraged to complete the requirement as early as possible.

Application for the waiver of the education on “Understanding China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, P.R.C.” is normally not allowed. However, RPg students may apply for the waiver, which is considered on a case-by-case basis, by submitting a Form GSB37 and the relevant supporting documents via the Departmental/School Research Committee to the Office of Undergraduate Studies (OUS).

For details of the e-learning module and the guidelines on the waiver, please refer to the OUS website:
