Study Period
The normative study period for this programme is 1 year for full-time and 2 years for part-time. Classes will be arranged in weekday evenings from 6:45 pm to 9:30 pm. To fit the busy schedule of students who have a full-time job, at least one course will be scheduled in Saturday afternoon from 2:30 pm to 5:15 pm.
Languages used for teaching
Based on the principle that the language used must be understood by all students in class, a significant number of courses are currently taught in English. For class works and presentations, students are free to use English or Chinese/Cantonese. Courses with large number of students such as compulsory courses are split into two classes: one conduced in English, the other in Cantonese.
