This programme is suspended for admissions sine die with effect from the academic year 2025-26
The BASc (Interdisciplinary Studies) draws upon the specialised knowledge developed by different disciplines (e.g. psychology, biology and history) and integrates their unique perspectives into a holistic synthesis, which empowers students to address complex problems that cannot be addressed by a single discipline. It is designed for students to become exceptionally well-rounded. As the most personalised degree in Hong Kong, we offer students the chance to create their own degree under the mentorship of teachers who truly care about students’ passions, ambitions and holistic development.

Student Voices

I always thoroughly enjoyed studying about culinary cultures from an interdisciplinary perspective. My academic and extra-curricular journey at the BASc made me realise how I can utilise design thinking concepts to create models for people to engage with food cultures.

Student Voices

BASc is a degree perfect for people who constantly seek new challenges and vigorously want to explore the world. Back in secondary school, I was interested in both arts and social sciences. Though it was hard to study new subjects every semester, I enjoyed discovering interesting topics and relating them to my area of interest.

Student Voices

The best thing about BASc is the close-knit community where I feel included and supported. I can always talk to my classmates and professors in our common room and Discord channel. Many of my classmates are my best friends at HKU who I can depend on. Also, when I encounter difficulties in my research projects, BASc professors are always willing to provide me with detailed and practical advice.
