Q54: What is the credit requirement for a Minor study?

A Minor Programme is a collection of subjects totalling 18 credits with at least 50% (9 credits) of the subjects at Level 3 or above according to the stipulations of the Minor Programme Offering Department (i.e. Minor Department). Students may be allowed to count up to 6 credits from their Major (excluding “Free Elective” subjects, if any)/GUR (including LCR subjects, etc) towards their chosen Minor. If the Major subjects taken are the same as the Minor compulsory subjects, they must apply to count these subjects towards the compulsory Minor subject requirements in order to graduate. Please check the curricula of both the Major and Minor programmes. Students are required to submit the Form AR147(a) via Application Forms to and obtain approval from the Minor Department, as soon as possible and no later than your application for graduation.
