| What is it about? | The History programme at HKU is a carefully designed curriculum that gives students a broad general knowledge of history with necessary skills of historical analysis, writing and research. Courses in the Department of History are open both to B.A. students who wish to major in History and to other students in the Faculty of Arts who are not taking, or intending to take, History as a major. Students from the Faculty of Social Sciences and other faculties are also welcome in most courses offered by the Department of History, and a public examination result in History is not a prerequisite for any first-year course. The Programme is offered both as a major and minor. It consists of introductory and advanced courses. Introductory courses are normally taken in the first year while advanced courses are normally taken in subsequent years. |
