PROGRAM OVERVIEW Program Structure In the first year of study, students will take the Science Foundation courses as well as some of the language, elective and/or general education courses. Upon completion of the first year, the students will declare their corresponding majors offered by the School of Science, as well as the Joint School Programs and the programs offered by the Academy of Interdisciplinary Studies. Most science major programs offer different study tracks and options, while providing an opportunity for double majors and minors. The program’s flexibility caters to students with diverse academic and career aspirations. Science (Group A) and Science (Group B) Under school-based admissions, students admitted into the School of Science upon completion of the first year of study will enroll in one of the following degree programs: Science (Group A) program: • BSc in Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence in Science • BSc in Mathematics • BSc in Mathematics with an Extended Major in Artificial Intelligence • BSc in Mathematics with an Extended Major in Digital Media and Creative Arts • BSc in Ocean Science and Technology with an Extended Major in Artificial Intelligence • BSc in Physics • BSc in Physics with an Extended Major in Artificial Intelligence • BSc in Data Science and Technology* • BSc in Mathematics and Economics* • BSc in Risk Management and Business Intelligence* Science (Group B) program: • BSc in Biochemistry and Cell Biology • BSc in Biotechnology • BSc in Chemistry • BSc in Biotechnology and Business* • Dual Degree Program in Technology and Management (BSc & BBA)# Both Science (Group A) and Science (Group B) programs: • BSc in Ocean Science and Technology • BSc in Ocean Science and Technology with an Extended Major in Digital Media and Creative Arts • BSc in Environmental Management and Technology# • BSc in Individualized Interdisciplinary Major# * Joint School Programs # Programs offered by the Academy of Interdisciplinary Studies Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Minimum credit requirement for graduation: Normative period of study: In Year 1, students will enroll in science foundation courses according to their interests and background, as well as courses in other areas to fulfill the University Common Core requirements. Students will declare a major program in their second year. They may also consider declaring a minor program to add a secondary area of focus to their studies. 120 Credits 4 Years The School of Science offers two general Schoolbased program choices – Science (Group A) program and Science (Group B) program. The Science (Group A) program is tailor-made for students interested in the fields of physical sciences. The Science (Group B) Program is more suitable for students who are interested in the fields of chemistry and life science. The students will declare their corresponding majors upon completing their first year of studies. development, education, manufacturing, logistics, and business and finance. The School has particularly placed enormous efforts and resources into designing its laboratory and signature courses to nurture students’ competency in experimental methods and logical analysis, which are the two indispensable pillars of scientific method. In addition to rigorous academic training, we place equal emphasis on students’ personal development. A wide range of co-curricular activities and training are provided to enrich students’ university experience further. These include but are not limited to overseas exchange, undergraduate research, internship, community services and engagement programs designed specifically for the School of Science students. School-based Admissions The School-based programs at the School of Science provide an invaluable opportunity for students to have a deeper understanding of various aspects of science and their personal interests before deciding on their majors. The goal is to offer a more diverse, interdisciplinary, and inquirydriven undergraduate education. Students can enjoy high flexibility in major and minor choices by following their aspirations. The programs aim at nurturing young scientists who can contribute to the betterment of humankind with advanced scientific knowledge. Students will be equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to engage in activities demanding critical thinking, analysis and task execution to excel in their future professions, including research and 06 07
