Cross-Institutional General/Gateway Education (GE) Course Enrolment Scheme for Undergraduate Students

Cross-Institutional GE

An agreement has been made between the City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) and Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) to implement cross-institutional General/Gateway Education (CIGE) course enrolment since 2011. Both parties shall, on the basis of reciprocity, support and promote undergraduate students to gain access to each other’s GE courses. The scheme allows students to enrol in GE courses offered by both institutions, benefitting from each other’s expertise. All full-time UGC-funded undergraduates enrolled in the 4-Year curriculum at CityUHK and HKBU are eligible to apply. Each institution will reserve 100 seats for the partner institution each academic year, limiting the number of students who can cross-register to 50 per semester on a first-come, first-served basis. Interested students should read the relevant information and submit an application for course enrolment according to the procedures and deadline specified below.
