Aims & Characteristics

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.

 

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.

Recognition & Prospects

Upon completion of the BSc programme, graduates will become innovative problem solvers and effective communicators and play vital roles in the community at large as ethical leaders, as well as socially responsible global citizens.

 

Our science major programmes offer a wide spectrum of career prospects and professional recognition from accreditation bodies. Please refer to the individual programme and scheme pages for more information (see the “Curriculum” section below). 

Curriculum

The multidisciplinary, inquiry-driven, and experimentally based curriculum transforms our extraordinary students from diverse backgrounds into young scientists equipped with the advanced scientific knowledge to excel in various professions.  

 

All admitted students will embark on a common Year 1 curriculum, which includes the University’s General University Requirement (GUR) subjects and tailor-made fundamental subjects in the fields of biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics, and food science. These subjects are designed to meet the needs of students with different backgrounds, thus providing a solid and adequate foundation from which to explore a range of science disciplines. 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
