For students admitted from the 2024/25 cohort onwards

All RPg students admitted in and after the 2024/25 cohort are required to pass a compulsory one-credit subject on AIE within their first year of study. Students should report the AIE completion status in their first annual progress monitoring exercise.

If students fail to pass the AIE subject by the given timeline, they would be considered making unsatisfactory progress which may lead to de-registration.

Students may choose one AIE subject from the subject pool that best suits their research studies. The subject pool is subject to review and change.

For students admitted before the 2024/25 cohort

For RPg students admitted before the 2024/25 cohort and have not yet completed ‘HTI6081 Ethics: Research, Professional and Personal Perspectives’ before Semester One of 2024/25, they are required to complete one AIE subject from the subject pool before thesis submission. Students who have completed HTI6081 are not required to take the AIE subject.

Students should refer to Appendix 2 for the list of AIE subjects, and the arrangements for AIE subject registration and progress reporting.
