General Education
GE Team is committed to providing whole-person education and cultivating among students the breadth of knowledge, competencies, and qualities with which possession they can consider themselves (and be considered) as educated individuals. The University believes that general education has to be based on awakening students' intrinsic motivation or inner drive to learn and to learn how to learn. In each academic year, GE offers more than 40 non-credit bearing courses and programmes, in which prominent scholars, community leaders, and individuals with outstanding achievement in various sectors are invited to run courses and share insights with students. Happy 2gether programmes, including Happy Thursday – Tea from Around the World, and Global Kitchen, allows students with different nationalities mingle and learn other cultures. F:A:C:E: (Fascinating Arts and Cultural Experiences) supports students’ creative projects and enriches campus life and learning with more intimate and interactive encounters of arts and culture. Green lovers can join the Rooftop Farming Project and Herb Garden, and learn to grow organic vegetables on campus. Besides, the Gatherland is a cosy place for student activities while students can join our GEST (GE Student Team) to create something new with GE.
