Discover Your Future at PolyU: Undergraduate Studies

PolyU’s undergraduate programmes are designed to develop future-ready leaders, professionals and innovators. Typically spanning 4 years, with some extending to 5, these programmes offer a comprehensive learning experience. The medium of instruction is English unless otherwise specified. Graduation requirements range from approximately 120 to 140 credits, depending on the discipline.

Studying at PolyU offers more than just a degree; it is a diverse and enriching educational journey with ample opportunities for learning, growth and exploration. The flexible learning experience fosters innovation and adaptability. The first-year curriculum lays a solid foundation, easing students’ transition into university life and allowing exploration within various fields of a discipline. This approach helps students make informed academic decisions. Towards the end of their first year, students have the opportunity to switch or choose a programme that aligns with their skills and aspirations. Students of health sciences and social work follow specialised pathways to achieve professional goals. 

At PolyU, we are committed to empowering every student to shape their own academic journey. Our curriculum is designed to foster innovation, self-exploration and flexible learning with a global perspective. It includes general university subjects such as artificial intelligence and data analytics (AIDA), innovation and entrepreneurship (IE), leadership education, service-learning, and language and communication. Discipline-specific subjects provide in-depth knowledge in the chosen field. Additionally, students have the opportunity to take electives, complete capstone projects, participate in work-integrated education and gain international experiences through academic exchange programmes, internships and study tours. Students interested in pursuing a specialisation beyond their chosen field have the option of taking a secondary major in AIDA or IE or choosing a minor. Our teaching and learning methods encompass teacher-led instruction, student-centred activities and diverse assessment methods. The academic year typically starts in late August/early September, with two teaching semesters ending in April. Some programmes may also offer a summer term from May to July.

PolyU offers a range of scholarships to support students, recognising academic excellence, leadership potential and other strengths. These scholarships can cover tuition fees, living expenses and other educational costs. Beyond financial support, PolyU provides a robust network of student support services designed to ensure a fulfilling and successful university experience. These include academic advising, career counselling and comprehensive wellness programmes to ensure students’ mental and physical well-being. With such extensive support, students are empowered to thrive academically and personally, making their journey at PolyU both enriching and rewarding.
