Short Description #
The Bachelor of Social Sciences in International Relations and Global Affairs program explores Asia’s place in the contemporary world and Hong Kong’s strategic position in the region and the world. It aims to develop students’ knowledge of socio-political, economic, and cultural processes of change occurring in Asia and to situate them in the broader international context, reflecting the increasing significance of Asia in world affairs. Through its interdisciplinary curriculum and training in social research, the International Relations and Global Affairs major seeks to equip students with analytic skills of value to organizations in diverse economic sectors in Hong Kong, Asia and beyond. The program is taught by faculty members from diverse disciplines of sociology, anthropology and political science. It enhances students’ critical reasoning and problem-solving skills, and extends and deepens their regional and global perspectives. Four-year degree students enrolled at the City University of Hong Kong have a chance to apply for admission to the Joint Bachelor’s Degree Program between City University of Hong Kong and Columbia University during their second year. Students admitted to the Joint Program will earn two bachelor degrees, awarded by the two universities. Upon graduation, students are well equipped to pursue careers in both public and private sectors in a variety of fields, including business, project-planning and management, public relations, politics, research and education, mass media, politics, social enterprises and non-governmental and community organizations.
