Master of Social Science
Education in Greater China
Studies
INTRODUCTION
At no time in recent history has a region witnessed such
tumultuous economic, political, and social transformation as
has Asia. Driven by the enormous growth in China’s economy
and the remarkable historical transitions in Japan, South
Korea, and Taiwan, Asia is home to some of the largest and
most dynamic economies in the world. At the same time,
Asia remains a region of great diversity. The continuing
challenges of poverty, inequality and unequal development,
rapid urbanization, competition for scarce energy resources,
environmental degradation, and the fast changing contours of
geo-political power, also make for a series of policy problems
that require new, innovative, and bold institutional and political
responses if Asia’s success is to be sustained.
The Master of Social Science Education in Greater China
Studies is designed to explore these issues and equip students
with a wide base knowledge and set of analytical skills that can
assess these trends, interpret their likely consequences, and
inform potential solutions. As part of its core objectives, the
Master of Social Science Education in Greater China Studies is
designed to equip students with the tools necessary to become
effective observers, analysts, and advisors to government,
business, and civil society organizations.
This programme aims to meet the needs of the teachers, nongovernmental organization (NGO) workers, human resource
people, project managers/ administrators, and editors/
publishers who are working in Greater China and Asia.
PROGRAMME AIMS
This programme aims to enrich and update students’ academic
knowledge and strengthen their research/pedagogical
repertoire in the studies of Greater China from multi-disciplinary
and comparative perspectives. After graduation, students will
find their unique competitiveness in research and education
institutions, think tanks, media, NGOs, consulting companies,
as well as the private sector.

Master of Social Sciences
in Global and
Hong Kong Studies
INTRODUCTION
The Master of Social Sciences in Global and Hong Kong
Studies is the first Master programme that adopts multidimensional and multidisciplinary perspectives on studying
and understanding Hong Kong. It combines the core elements
of Global Studies with that of Hong Kong Studies. The study
of Hong Kong under the broader contexts of China and the
world constitutes a unique area that examines not simply the
internal evolution of Hong Kong but also its external, complex
and dynamic interactions with the international community.
Students will be educated to have global perspectives and a
deeper understanding of Hong Kong’s developments from
multidisciplinary perspectives, particularly sociology, political
science, economics and history.

multidisciplinary perspectives and inquiry skills to understand
Hong Kong and its relations with Mainland China, Taiwan,
Macao and the world. Such knowledge and skills are applicable
to a wide range of careers in the government, mass media,
education, non-governmental organizations, as well as in
private enterprises.
Graduate of this programme will be able to pursue their
doctoral studies, or another Master-level studies, in a variety of
disciplines, ranging from China Studies to Hong Kong Studies,
from global studies to disciplinary subjects such as sociology
and political science, and from interdisciplinary studies to
specific disciplinary research degrees.
The objectives of this Master of Social Sciences in Global and
Hong Kong Studies programme are:
A. To develop multidisciplinary perspectives for students to
comprehend the transformations and developments of
Hong Kong and the world;
B. To foster in students a deep understanding of Global
Studies, Hong Kong Studies and the interface and
interactions between the local and the global dimensions;
and
C. To assist students in mastering the skills of researching,
exploring and analysing the complex interactions between
Hong Kong and the world.
On successful completion of the programme, students will be
able to demonstrate the following abilities:
1. Understand the complexity and dynamism in Hong Kong’s
developments in the national, regional and global contexts;
2. Acquire multiple perspectives in studying Hong Kong and
its interaction with Greater China, Asia-Pacific and the
globalizing world;
3. Apply concepts, theories and methodology of Global and
Hong Kong Studies empirically to case studies and reallife examples; and
