As the President of the Open University of Hong Kong (OUHK), I am

extremely pleased to welcome you, both new and continuing students, to
the OUHK.

The OUHK began as a distance learning institution, but has now become
a multimode university. This means we offer programmes and courses in
several different modes: distance learning mode, face-to-face mode, blended
learning mode and e-learning mode. Today we have over 11,000 distance

Message from learning and e-learning students, and over 8,000 full-time students.

The majority of our courses are offered in the distance learning mode.
the President Distance learning offers great flexibility. Students can work their way through
the course materials at their own pace, and study anywhere, anytime. All
of our courses are supported by our Online Learning Environment, or OLE,
where students can access the course materials and other forms of support
for their studies. Multimedia elements are also included in some courses
where appropriate.

The University now offers a greater range of programmes than ever, with
over 240 programmes, including many not offered elsewhere. Examples
are our programmes in product design, testing and certification, and our
e-learning Master of Laws in Chinese Business Law programme.

OUHK degrees and other qualifications are equal to those of all other
universities established by the Hong Kong Government, and are recognized
both in Hong Kong and overseas for employment and higher studies
purposes, as well as being respected by employers. Many of our programmes
are recognized by professional bodies.

The OUHK has multiple campuses, including the main campus and the
Jubilee College in Ho Man Tin and the Kwai Hing Learning Centre. You
will find a wide range of resources, space for individual and group study,
laboratories, and student facilities at the University.

In short, now is a great time to study at the OUHK. It offers you a range of
programmes and modes of study that will allow you to stay competitive in
the international and local marketplaces.

Whether you are enrolling in a programme for the first time or you are a
continuing student registering for one or more courses in the coming term,
I wish you success in your endeavours!

Programme Regulations.
Learning for all

Admission to the OUHK is open to anyone in Hong
Kong over the age of 17. The OUHK is unique among
Hong Kong tertiary institutions in that it has no entry
requirements for most of its first degree distance

learning programmes (see p. 24). Exit standards,
however, are rigorous.

What the OUHK offers

The OUHK offers you a range of flexible study options:

1 Distance learning. The majority of our students
are enrolled in distance education. Much of the
teaching and learning is achieved by means of
course packages that contain specially structured
learning materials such as printed study units,
supplementary readings and assignment questions.
These are supplemented by face-to-face tutorials
held in the evenings or at weekends. In addition,
most OUHK distance courses use media such as
video and audio programmes, computer software,
CD-ROMs and broadcast TV, and most incorporate
online components that enrich student learning and
communication.
2 Face-to-face postgraduate learning. This is
offered for a limited number of programmes and
courses (refer to the List of OUHK programmes on
p. 229 for details), usually because of their special
nature. Classes are usually held in the evenings and
at weekends. These comprise both lectures, at which
much of the learning material is presented, and
tutorials, in which discussion and other interactive
learning activities take place.
 9

3 Full-time face-to-face learning. Both Bachelors 1.

and Associate Degree programmes in a number

of areas are now offered in full-time face-to-face

mode. If you are interested in pursuing a full-time
programme, you should obtain the OUHK brochure
Full-time Programmes.
4 Mixed-mode learning. For some OUHK
programmes it may be possible to combine distance
learning, part-time face-to-face and full-time face-

to-face study. Please contact the relevant Programme
Leader or School for details.
2.
5 E-learning. The University offers a number of totally 229
online programmes and courses covering areas such

as Chinese business law, environmental leadership
and decision making, Chinese language and English
writing, etc. For details, please visit the website of
the OUHKs Centre for eLearning at http://ecentre.
ouhk.edu.hk/e-home.htm. 3.

6 Blended learning. To enhance learning, some

courses adopt a blended learning approach, which
is a thoughtful integration of multiple approaches to
learning such as e-learning, face-to-face instruction 4.
and distance learning. Through being exposed to
such a variety of learning experiences, students can

deepen their understanding and application of the
subject content.
5.
This Prospectus covers the programme requirements for
all OUHK distance learning, face-to-face postgraduate

and e-learning programmes. For descriptions of individual
courses, please refer to the Courses Supplement. You http://ecentre.ouhk.edu.hk/

Why choose the OUHK?

 11

If youre ready to begin university study in Hong Kong,

you have many programmes to choose from. Youre
probably wondering, What makes the OUHK special?

Why should I choose to study there? In this section,
we think youll find convincing answers to these crucial
questions.

The OUHK provides a unique blend of advantages for
Hong Kong people:

true flexibility;
a Hong Kong perspective on learning; and
local and international recognition.

True flexibility

The OUHK offers unparalleled flexibility in study
methods, and is therefore particularly suitable for
busy Hong Kong people who would find it hard to fit
frequent class attendance into their schedules.

At the Open University of Hong Kong, you can study
distance learning courses wherever you want, and
whenever you want. You are not confined by having
to attend lectures at a fixed time or place as in most
full-time or part-time face-to-face programmes. This
flexibility is one of the major advantages of distance
education, the mode of teaching and learning that the

OUHK uses for most of its courses.

The OUHK also gives you greater freedom than most
other universities in deciding what subject to study, and
the pace at which you complete your programme. There

are no time limits on how long you can take to finish a
qualification.

Also, the OUHK gives you the built-in flexibility provided
by multiple exit points and articulated programmes.
You can choose to study for a Certificate or Diploma
first, for example, then extend your study to the degree
level if you wish, without having to reapply. Likewise,
if youre planning on finishing a degree, you can also
choose to stop for a while along the way, and take a
Certificate or Diploma once youve reached the relevant
exit point.
12
 13

A Hong Kong perspective

Unlike many overseas programmes designed with
overseas learners in mind, a Hong Kong perspective is

built into OUHK courses wherever its relevant. Nearly
all of our course writers and designers have extensive
experience of living and working in Hong Kong. The
OUHKs academic staff our Course Coordinators and

tutors are also experienced local teachers and subject
experts.

Local and international recognition
OUHK degrees and other qualifications are equal to
those of all other universities established by the Hong

Kong Government, and are recognized both in Hong
Kong and overseas for employment and higher studies

purposes.

Many programmes are recognized by professional

bodies. More and more local and overseas professional
bodies particularly those related to accounting,
management and marketing have granted I E E E
OUHK students exemptions from their professional
IMAInstitute of
examinations. Our electronics and computing graduates
meet the requirements for membership of the Institute Mathematics and Its Applications
of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and our
mathematics graduates can join the IMA. The Bachelor
of Education (English and Chinese strands), the Master

of Education in English Language Education and the
Master of Education in Chinese Language Education are
included in the EDBs list of Recognized Language Major
Degree Programmes. For more information, check the
Programmes section of this Prospectus.

Holders of OUHK awards are also much in demand by

employers, who recognize that in order to complete
a qualification largely through their own efforts, our
graduates have needed self-discipline, perseverance and
good organizational skills, as well as intellectual ability.

If you decide to become an OUHK student, you

will find that our University is rather different from
traditional ones. The major difference is that the

Studying with the OUHK majority of our students study via distance education
methods. This section introduces you to some of the
Universitys special characteristics, especially ways in
which we support all our students in their learning.
Academic year
The academic year starts with the Autumn Term in
early September followed by the Spring Term in late
January. There is then a 12-week summer break*
before the next academic year begins. Each academic
term lasts for 20 weeks with the last 4 weeks as an
examination period.
*Note: Not applicable to most programmes offered by the
Division of Nursing and Health Studies.

Course materials
OUHKs distance learning courses are written by
subject experts, and are tailored specifically for Hong
Kong students and the Hong Kong context. They are
closely scrutinized and validated by both internal and
external reviewers to ensure quality.

Courses are delivered to our students using a variety

of media, such as printed study units in binders,
interactive CD-ROMs and video CDs. OUHK courses
also make use of the Universitys Online Learning
Environment (OLE), and many incorporate resources
found on the World Wide Web. Some courses also
include television programmes.

All OUHK courses have one thing in common: a great

deal of effort and thought has gone into designing
and producing them.

The Online Learning Environment (OLE)

Through the OUHKs online platform, the OLE,
students, tutors and Course Coordinators can
communicate easily using the Discussion Board and
Email. The OLE brings you the latest course news and
schedules. Study units, Web links, assignments and
other resources may also be provided.
 19

Free Courseware
A taste of distance learning

You can try out the OUHKs distance learning

course materials at our Free Courseware

website (http://freecourseware.ouhk.edu.hk).

The materials on the site, which can be used

* by the public for free, will give you a good
feeling for what distance learning is like.
They have been taken from a broad range
* of subject areas, such as business, science,
education, languages, arts and
social sciences.

http://freecourseware.ouhk.edu.
h k

20
Languages of instruction
OUHK courses are delivered in either English or Chinese.
An OUHK course code with a suffix C indicates that
the medium of instruction is Chinese. The OUHK has
several courses with some units in English and some in
Chinese those course codes have a suffix B (bilingual).
If there is no letter C or B at the end of an OUHK
course code, then the medium of instruction for that
course is English.
Enhancing your language skills
If you want to study in English, you can choose from a
variety of OUHK courses that will help you, either before
you embark on your degree or while you are studying,
to improve your English language skills. Similarly, if you
choose to study Chinese courses or want to enhance
your use of Chinese in the workplace, there are Chinese
language enhancement courses available (see p. 169).
Assessment
For most courses, the OUHK students coursework is
assessed in two main ways: continuous assessment
and examinations. Continuous assessment that is,
a number of formal assignments you undertake at
regular intervals while studying an OUHK course may
take the form of essays, multiple-choice questions or
projects and case studies. Most courses have a written
examination, held at the end of the course. For these
courses, your result will depend on your performance in
both the continuous assessment and the examination.
Some courses also have compulsory day schools, field
trips or laboratory sessions. Regarding examination
periods, please refer to the Courses Supplement.
 21

Support for OUHK students

Distance learning requires students to be self-reliant, but
the OUHK provides its students with substantial learning
C
support.
B
Tutors and tutorials
Students are allocated a tutor for each OUHK
course they enrol on. Tutors mark and comment on
assignments, give advice or help by telephone and

email, and run regularly scheduled face-to-face tutorial
sessions. These sessions are usually held on weekday
evenings or weekends, either on the OUHK campus or
in off-campus centres. For details of the centres that

have been used for the previous terms, please refer to
the Courses Supplement. Students may visit the student
portal MyOUHK to view their tutor information and 169
confirmed class schedule.

Tutorials, unlike lectures, require your active participation.
While you are not normally required to attend, most
experienced OUHK students would strongly recommend
that you do. On average, tutorials are held every two

weeks for Foundation level courses and every three to
four weeks for Middle or Higher level courses.

On all OUHK courses, you can interact with your tutor
and fellow students through the OUHKs Online Learning
Environment (OLE). Many courses provide you with
other opportunities to meet with your tutor, Course

Coordinator and other students:

laboratory sessions are common in our science

courses;

surgeries are open sessions for asking your tutor

questions; and

day schools are longer sessions which often feature
expert speakers or case study activities.

Campus and facilities

As an OUHK student, you will probably do much of your
study at home, but there may be times when you need

to study elsewhere. The OUHK provides well-equipped

learning facilities, including computer labs, self-study
rooms, discussion rooms, classrooms and lecture theatres
at its Ho Man Tin campus, Jubilee College and Kwai (MyOUHK)
Hing Learning Centre which is located in the Kowloon

Commerce Centre in Kwai Chung. Language and
technology laboratories are located at the Ho Man Tin
campus and the Jubilee College.
22
There are libraries in both the Ho Man Tin campus and
Jubilee College. In the libraries you will find course
materials, books, audio-visual materials, monographs and
journals. The OUHKs E-Library, a 24-hour online service
thats been recognized with an international award,
greatly extends the range of journals, texts, books and
articles available to OUHK students. All registered OUHK
students have full access to its resources.
Use of technology
The OUHK uses printed course materials, audio
CDs, video CDs, CD-ROMs and online materials in
its teaching. OUHK students and tutors frequently
communicate with each other by email or through
the OLE.
Email accounts are provided by the OUHK to all its
students. All academic and administrative information
will be sent to a students university email account as
far as it is applicable. This includes information about
the students programme and courses, University news,
and student announcements. For this reason, enrolled
students should check their email accounts frequently.
Support for students with disabilities or special
educational needs
The OUHK is committed to supporting students with
disabilities or special educational needs (including
those who are confined at home or in hospital). If
you regularly use a wheelchair, our campuses are fully
accessible. Course materials can be made available in
formats suitable for students with disabilities or special
educational needs, and special arrangements can be
made for tutorials and examinations when necessary. If
you have disabilities or special educational needs, please
inform the University before the commencement of
course so that appropriate services can be provided.*
Before enrolling on a course, you should check to see if
any course requirements might cause you difficulty.
* The University will try to provide the required services
according to circumstances; however, it may not always be possible
to do so if there are insufficient resources or other constraints.
Student activities
The University believes that participating in student
activities is a fulfilling experience for students, and that it
enhances learning. OUHK students are encouraged to set
up student societies to organize extracurricular activities
and study groups to enrich their campus life and broaden
their horizons.

Planning your study
more than one course at a time, and its possible to
By now you may be ready to take the next step:
becoming an OUHK student. This section takes you
through the process of choosing your first OUHK course.
Entry requirements
The OUHK does not have any academic entry
requirements for most of its first degree distance
learning programmes. Admission is open to anyone in
Hong Kong over the age of 17.
You should note, however, that some OUHK
programmes, especially postgraduate programmes
and those in the areas of education and nursing,
are designed for people already holding certain
qualifications. You should check the Programmes
section of this Prospectus for details of any such
requirements for the programme youre interested in.
How do I earn a qualification?
The OUHK has two terms a year, normally starting in
January and September. Some part-time face-to-face
postgraduate programmes may start earlier (check the
programme information in the Programmes section).
Courses last for one or two terms. It is possible to take
stop registering for further courses for a while. This is
one of the strengths of the OUHKs system you can
tailor your study schedule to suit your own needs.
The OUHKs flexible credit system
The OUHK uses a flexible credit system. Most
OUHK courses have values of 5, 10 or 20 credits. In
general, five-credit courses occupy one term of study
(approximately 20 weeks) while 10- or 20-credit courses
occupy two terms (approximately 40 weeks).
As you pass courses, you accumulate the credits toward
a qualification: a Certificate; a Diploma; a Higher
Diploma; an Associate, Bachelors, Honours or Masters
Degree; or a Postgraduate Certificate or Diploma. For
example, for an undergraduate ordinary degree you
need 120 credits, whereas a degree with Honours
requires 160. Table 1 sets out the number of credits you
need to achieve the range of OUHK qualifications.

Registration value
You should be aware that each OUHK course carries a
registration value that is different from its credit value.
Registration value is used to indicate a students study
load per term. A total registration value of 20 is about
the normal load for a full-time student.
The following formula shows how the registration value
is calculated:
Registration value = credit value no. of terms it takes
to complete the course

a 20-credit course of two terms duration has a
registration value of 10, i.e. 20 2 = 10
a five-credit course of one terms duration has a
registration value of 5, i.e. 5 1 = 5.
Students entering undergraduate and postgraduate
programmes for the first time can register for courses
with a total maximum registration value of 15. For
continuing students, the maximum is 30.
How long does it take to get an OUHK
qualification?
Since most OUHK students study part-time, at their
own pace, the length of time they take to complete
their studies varies. For example, most people take
around five years to gain the 120 credits needed for a
Bachelors Degree (usually taking one or two courses at
a time), but some have managed to compress it into
three. Others who want to take their time or have a
break in their studies may take longer. In general, there
is no time limit set to complete a programme.
How much time will I need to take one course?
Although the OUHK provides students with a flexible
way to study, you are required to complete the
assignments and examination according to the schedule
for each course. In general, you should allow at least
ten hours a week for one course, not including the time
required for attending face-to-face sessions.

Levels of OUHK courses
OUHK courses are offered at different levels:
Pre-foundation and Foundation level
(Pre-foundation course codes start with 0 and
Foundation course codes start with 1, .e.g., ENGL
E070 or ENGL A101) Pre-foundation courses
may be counted towards sub-degree or Associate
Degree programmes, but not towards degrees.
Foundation courses are entry-level courses for degree
programmes, and are excellent starting points if you
lack tertiary education experience or specific subject
knowledge.
Middle level (course codes starting with 2)
Some of these courses have advisory prerequisites
(other courses that you are strongly recommended
to take first).
Higher level (course codes starting with 3 or 4) read your programmes course requirements carefully to
These courses usually have advisory prerequisites.
Postgraduate level (course codes starting with
8 or 9) These are Postgraduate Certificate, In addition to this Prospectus, the other important
Postgraduate Diploma, Masters or Doctoral courses.
Free choice courses
In most 120- and 160-credit degree programmes,
students have the opportunity to take a certain number
of credits outside the set of required programme-specific
courses. These are known as free choice credits, and
count towards the degree. You can select any courses
you wish at Foundation, Middle, or Higher level as your
free choice courses; however, no more than 40 credits
can be taken at Foundation level. Note that credits
obtained from Pre-foundation and Postgraduate level
courses cannot be counted as free choice credits.
Excluded combinations
Sometimes two different courses contain such a high
proportion of common materials that they form an
excluded combination. You should not take courses that
form an excluded combination, as only one of them can
count towards a single award (see the list of excluded
combinations on p. 41 of the Courses Supplement).
How do I choose my first course?
Some people have no problem in choosing their first
course. If you are looking to advance your career
prospects, for example, you probably know which
programme will be most appropriate. For you its just
a matter of deciding when you can begin, and then
checking which Foundation courses in that programme
will be presented in the upcoming term.
Others may be less sure of the direction they wish
to take. If this applies to you, then perhaps the best
thing to do is select a course at an appropriate level
that interests you. You can decide which programme
you want to follow later. You just need to be sure to
notify the University about your intended programme
of study when you register for the next course of your
programme or before then, to ensure that your award
is processed at the appropriate time. You should also
ensure you choose the correct mix of courses to earn
your qualification.
document you need in order to find course information
is the Courses Supplement, which gives details of all the
courses the OUHK will offer in its upcoming term. You
should receive a copy of the Courses Supplement along
with this Prospectus. If you do not, you can request the
latest version by calling 2711 2100. You can also find
programme and other information at http://www.ouhk.
edu.hk/enrol_e.
You can also browse through our Course Guides and
some of our course materials to make sure that a
course matches your expectations. The Course Guides
are available on the OUHK website. (Go to
http://www.ouhk.edu.hk/courses_on_offer. Do a course
search. Click on the course title and you will see the
Course Guide link at the top.) Most OUHK course
materials and set books are available for reference in
the OUHK libraries and at many public libraries (see
Appendix C on p. 227).
In general, we advise that new students choose a
course or courses at the Pre-foundation, Foundation or
Middle level that are listed for their programme.

If you want to try to determine if your English,
mathematics or science skills are adequate for university
study, you can obtain a self-diagnostic test from the
Information Centre of the University or by writing to the
Admission and Student Records Office stating the test
you want.
You are welcome to join our information seminars (see
the Courses Supplement) or contact the Admissions and
Student Records Office to find out more about course
selection, programmes, and study life. You can also
make use of the OUHKs academic counselling services.
However, you should note that it is the students
responsibility to make reference to the respective
programme regulations each time before course
enrollment to ensure that sufficient and appropriate
credits are obtained for the programme award.
Advice on course selection
If you are unsure about which of the OUHKs
programmes or courses is right for you, you may want
to talk to one of the Universitys academic staff. The
academic staff can answer questions about the content
of specific courses, the best ways to choose and plan
a programme of study, and more. You can contact
the Schools who will then put you in touch with the
appropriate staff for information about the programmes
in which you are interested:

Advanced standing/credit exemption
One important thing to remember when you apply
for your first OUHK course is that you may be able to
get credit for your previous studies. Credit exemption
known as advanced standing at the OUHK is
available for many students who have completed
tertiary level studies elsewhere. These transferred credits
can count towards the requirements for most OUHK
qualifications.
If you have transferable credits from other educational
institutions, you may be able to considerably shorten
the time you need to complete your OUHK programme.
In general, advanced standing is available for sub-
degree, undergraduate degree, Postgraduate Diploma
and Masters Degree programmes, with some
exceptions. The maximum levels of advanced standing
that can be granted are:
33% of the total credit requirements for Certificates
(30 credits)
50% of the total credit requirements for Diplomas
and Associate Degrees
50 credits for Higher Diplomas
80 credits for Bachelors Degrees and 100 credits for
Bachelors Degrees with honours
100 credits for the Bachelor of Language Studies
(English) (Honours) and Postgraduate Diploma
in Education (Secondary), and the Bachelor
Postgraduate Diploma in Education (Primary)
20 credits for Bachelor of Education (Honours) in

in Secondary Education, Bachelor of Education in

There are three types of credit transfer: Specific Credit
Transfer, General Credit Transfer, and Block Credit
Transfer. General credits may be used in connection with
specific credits. Block credits, however, must be used
alone.
Specific Credit Transfer (SCT)
Specific credits are awarded towards a specific course
within the set of required courses in a programme of
study. A student will be exempted from studying the
course in respect of which SCT is granted.
If you are applying for SCT, you should not register for
the OUHK course for which you are seeking exemption.
General Credit Transfer (GCT)
General credits may only be used to gain exemption
from the free choice credits in a programme. Unlike
specific credits, general credits are not awarded towards
a specific course, so they cannot be used for exemption
from the required programme-specific courses in a
programme of study.
If you are applying for GCT, you should not register for
free choice courses until the result of your application is
known. General credits only apply towards Foundation
level study in a Bachelor's Degree programme when
being counted for graduation, so you should make sure
that the number of Foundation level credits registered
plus the general credits awarded do not together
exceed the maximum number of Foundation level credits
permitted for your programme.
Block Credit Transfer (BCT)
Block credits are awarded towards the total credit
requirements of a programme of study. Awardees
must complete the remaining credits required for the
programme by following a list of prescribed top-up
courses. Since these top-up courses are prescribed by
the University based on the relevancy of an applicants
previous study, an award of block credits does not imply
that the number of credits required for completion of a
programme will automatically be reduced by the number
of block credits awarded.
If you are applying for BCT, you must not register for
free choice courses or courses that are not specified
in the list of top-up courses. Before registration, you
are advised to consult the precedent cases available
at the Information Centre and Registry, or through our
homepage.
Entry Pathways and Advanced Standing
The University has set up new entry pathways for various
Bachelors Degree programmes and Masters Degree
programmes. The programme credit requirements are
reduced for students admitted via entry pathways; in
other words, students are given an exemption without
the need to go thorough the advanced standing process.
However, students must satisfy the entry requirements
specified for admission to the pathway programmes.
Holders of relevant qualifications are advised to apply
for admission via these pathways if they satisfy the entry
requirements.
The OUHK Registrys Advanced Standing Office (2768 6624)
can provide more information. You can also check the
OUHK website for more details on credit exemption.

Studying with the OUHK is not cheap but then

nothing of value ever is. The University provides a
number of ways to help you finance your study.

How much will a course/qualification cost?

Financing your study Since the cost of OUHK courses varies, we can only help
you estimate the cost for an OUHK qualification.

Table 2 Approximate cost per credit by course level

Approximate
Course codes
Course level cost per credit
starting with ...
(HKD)*
Pre-foundation/
0 or 1 $940
Foundation
Middle 2 $1,061
Higher 3 or 4 $1,134$1,223
Postgraduate 8 $1,240$1,650

* Note: (i) Some courses (e.g. those delivered in face-to-face

mode, or those with lab classes etc.) have higher course fees.
Please refer to Courses Supplement for details; (ii) Course fees
may be subject to adjustment in future terms.

Now, if you go back to Table 1 on page 24 and

determine the number of credits required for the
qualification youre seeking, you can estimate the cost.
You should note that fees paid are not refundable or
transferable to another term or another use.
 35

Senior citizen discount

Elderly persons aged 65 or above with a Senior Citizen
Card will be offered a discount of 30% on the tuition
fees at the time of course registration. (The discount
offer is not applicable to Continuing Education Fund
[CEF] reimbursable courses.) If you are interested in the

Scheme, you should submit your application in person 2
and produce your senior citizen card for verification
during office hours. If you prefer to apply by mail, you 2
should submit your application together with a copy of

your senior citizen card.

Financial assistance
01 $940
OUHK Bursaries and Loans

Students who encounter financial difficulties may 2 $1,061

apply for a bursary or loan under the Student Financial 34 $1,134 $1,223
Assistance Scheme which is means-tested, for paying
8 $1,240 $1,650
their tuition fees. Both bursaries (which do not need to
be repaid) and loans (which must be repaid) are offered * (i)
to students according to their financial circumstances.

Bursaries are donated by commercial organizations, (ii)
firms and individuals. All continuing students who
have passed one distance-learning/part-time face-to- 25 1
face credit-bearing course at the OUHK are eligible 2
to apply.

Loans are financed by a Government grant of $100
million. They are available to any student (new or
continuing) who intends to register for any distance-
learning/part-time face-to-face credit-bearing course
on an application basis. New students are advised 65
to apply for a Pay After One Year (PAOY) Loan.
Continuing students may also apply. If students

have registered for 20 credits at OUHK (courses
not supported by OUHK bursary/loan) at the
time of application, they may apply for a Pay On
Graduation (POG) Loan (only available in the first

round). Successful applicants will repay the loan
(i.e. tuition fees) by interest-free instalments one

year after the loan is granted, or after graduation,
depending on the type of loan granted.

An interest-free Emergency assistance loan

scheme is available to continuing students who
encounter unexpected emergencies.


36
Government financial assistance schemes
The Government provides several schemes:
All OUHK students can apply for the Extended
Non-means-tested Loan Scheme (ENLS).
Students taking OUHK courses of a total registration
value of not less than 45 in two consecutive terms
or not less than 25 in one terms may be regarded
as full-time students and therefore eligible for
assistance under Financial Assistance Scheme for
Post-secondary Students (FASP)/ Non-means-
tested Loan Scheme for Post-secondary Students
(NLSPS) if they fulfil the criteria of the schemes.
Please note that the age limit for FASP is 30 or
below while there is no age limit for NLSPS.
Many OUHK courses have been approved as
reimbursable courses under the Continuing
Education Fund (CEF) set up by the Government.
Students who wish to seek fee reimbursement with
regard to courses under the CEF should check the
relevant webpage (http://www.wfsfaa.gov.hk/cef)
for the latest information before they register for
the courses. To be eligible for consideration, the
applicant must have completed the CEF-approved
course in compliance with CEF regulations, having
passed it at the threshold prescribed by the
Office of the CEF which may not be the same
as the Universitys pass threshold set for the
course. Having satisfied the above and all other
requirements of the Office of the CEF which it may
prescribe from time to time, the eligible applicants
will be reimbursed 80% of their course fees, subject
to a maximun sum of HK$10,000 (whichever is
less), on successful completion of a reimbursable
course. Each applicant may make four claims of
reimbursement, subject to a ceiling of HK$10,000
within four years from the date the application for
opening an account with CEF was approved. For
details, please visit the CEF webpage: http://www.
wfsfaa.gov.hk/cef/claim.htm. You can also call the
CEF 24-hour hotline at 3142 2277.
To comply with the requirements of the HKSAR Governments
Office of the CEF, the University will not offer any tuition
fee discounts or reduction to students applying for CEF
reimbursable courses.
OUHK MasterCard Interest free tuition loan
The Wing Lung Bank offers the Interest Free Tuition
Loan to all OUHK MasterCard holders. For details,
please call the Wing Lung Bank Credit Card Centre
Hotline on 2928 6668 or visit the Wing Lung Bank

Scholarships and prizes
A number of scholarships and prizes donated by
commercial organizations, firms and individuals are
awarded each year to students for outstanding
academic achievement.
Scholarship/prize recipients are normally nominated
by a School of the University. Selection is based on
the students overall record of academic achievement
and the specific requirements of the scholarship/
prize.
You can consult the Student Affairs Office (2768 6636)
for further information.

The OUHK offers a comprehensive
range of programmes to suit
students seeking to upgrade their
knowledge and career prospects.
Each programme is listed under one
of our four Schools: the School of
Arts and Social Sciences, the Lee
Shau Kee School of Business
and Administration, the School
of Education and Languages
or the School of Science and
Technology. Once you have
chosen your area of interest, you
can browse through a Schools
programmes to find a programme
at the appropriate level (sub-degree,
degree or postgraduate) to meet
your needs.
The requirements for each
programme are also given. To help
you choose courses, you should
read the course descriptions and

to find out when courses will be
offered. Please check the courses
that you select against the list of
excluded combinations on p. 41 of
the Courses Supplement to avoid
taking courses that form excluded
combinations.

Guidance notes
1 Except indicated otherwise, a 5-credit course (registration value: 5) lasts
for one term (half a year); a 10-credit (registration value: 5) or 20-credit
(registration value: 10) course last for two terms (one year).
2 Registration value (representing study load per term) =
credit value no. of terms it takes to complete the course.
3 Medium of instruction: A course code with a suffix C indicates that
Chinese is used as the medium of instruction; a course code with a suffix B
indicates that the course is bilingual; and all others without a suffix B or C
will be in English.
4 Chinese programmes and English programmes are independent.
Courses belonging to Chinese programmes cannot be used to replace
corresponding English courses within English programmes and vice versa.
(For example, MGT B240C cannot replace MGT B240, and vice versa.)
5 Face-to-face course: A course code with a suffix F indicates that the
course is delivered mainly through face-to-face mode. Courses presented
in full-time face-to-face mode are identical to courses with the same
course code but without the suffix F. Students who have successfully
completed courses presented in full-time face-to-face mode are not
allowed to take the same courses in the distance learning mode, and vice
versa.
6 E-learning course: A course code with a suffix W indicates that the
course is delivered in e-learning mode. Courses presented in e-learning
mode are identical to courses with the same course code but without the
suffix W. Students who have successfully completed courses presented in
e-learning mode are not allowed to take the same courses in the distance
learning mode and full-time face-to-face mode, and vice versa.
7 Some programmes or courses may start earlier. Please take note of related
information provided and refer to the Courses Supplement.
8 Not all courses are offered in every term. You should refer to the Courses
Supplement for information on course offerings.
9 Sometimes two different courses contain such a high proportion of
common material that they form an excluded combination. You should
not take courses that form an excluded combination, as only one of
them can count towards a single award. Please see the list of excluded
combinations on p. 41 of the Courses Supplement.
10 The information under each programme was last updated when this
Prospectus was prepared and is for reference only. The University reserves
the right to make any necessary changes. Please refer to the webpage of
the relevant school on the OUHK website (http://www.ouhk.edu.hk/) for
the latest information.
11 Some programmes have programme-specific entry requirements. You are
required to submit the Admissions Supplementary Form for Programmes
with Specific Entry Requirements in Appendix B on p. 225, and proof of
fulfilment of the entry requirements along with your application.

School of Arts & Social Sciences

The School of Arts and Social Sciences (A&SS) aims

to broaden students' intellectual horizons, enhance
their critical understanding of the humanities and

social sciences and equip them with the necessary
knowledge and skills to meet the changing needs
of society.

Focusing on four areas of disciplines: Humanities,

Social Sciences, Language & Translation and Cultural
& Creative Arts, the School offers a wide range
of postgraduate, undergraduate and sub-degree
programmes. In 2015-16, the School will launch
2015 9
two new programmes, the MSSc in Industrial-
Organizational Psychology and the MSSc in Autism
Spectrum Disorder, which will be conducted in face-
to-face teaching mode.
The MA in Chinese Literature, BA/BA (Hons) in
Chinese Language and Literature, MA in Applied
English Linguistics, and the BA and BA (Hons)
in Chinese and English are recognized by the

The MAAEL is designed to meet the growing
demand from professionals and individuals who
are concerned with the use of language in a wide
range of situations. It introduces students to the
application of linguistic theories and methods in

issues or engage in solving language-related
problems in other professions.
On completing the MAAEL, students will have a
broad understanding of the systems of English; a
general knowledge of the central issues in applied
linguistics; the skills required for conducting
research in applied linguistics; and a critical
awareness of the role of language in addressing
real-world problems in different contexts, such as
education, translation and the legal sector.
The programme is recognized by the Education
Bureau of the HKSAR Government:

Master of Arts in Legal
Translation
The change in Hong Kongs political and social
tide in 1997 triggered the Government to
implement legal bilingualism by establishing a
legal system using Chinese in addition to English
as the language of law. In order to strengthen
Hong Kongs role as a regional hub for such
bilingual system, a steady stream of competent
professionals/translators must be produced for both
the private and public legal sectors.
The School of Arts and Social Sciences proposes
to contribute to this process of academic
upgrading by offering a new programme of
studies the Master of Arts in Legal Translation.
This programme aims to provide students with
professional skills in legal writing, legal translation
and bilingual drafting. Upon successful completion
of the programme, students should be able to
demonstrate an in-depth understanding of the
common law system and the general concepts in
constitutional & administrative law, criminal law,
contract law, company law and property law. They
should also be equipped with the techniques to
translate different types of legal documents to
meet the challenges arisen as a result of Hong
Kongs transformation from a monolingual to a
bilingual legal system.
Note:
Courses with a suffix B are bilingual courses.
