Notes:

Students admitted in the current academic year can find detailed curriculum requirements in this Program Catalog, whereas students admitted in previous years should refer to the Undergraduate Curriculum Handbook at http://ugadmin.ust.hk/curriculum_hb/index.html
Students who are permitted to study under arrangements for a Dual Degree, for instance degrees in both Business and in Engineering, are required to complete all the requirements for both degrees. These students may benefit from pre-approved deviations from the curriculum allowing them to complete both degrees in 5 years. For details, students should seek advice from the Dual Degree Program Office.
To graduate with an additional major, students admitted in 2015-16 or after must take all the requirements specified for that major, within which they must complete at least 20 single-counted credits. These 20 credits cannot be used to fulfill any other requirements for graduation except for the 120-credit degree requirement and the University English Language requirement.
To make sure they can complete their program within the normal duration of study, students are also recommended to seek academic advice from their Schools and Departments, and follow an appropriate study plan. For up-to-date information on courses offering and scheduling, students should check it out from their School and Department, and the ARRO website. Examples on student’s pathways for each major are provided FOR REFERENCE.
