Q67: What is the requirement for Double Major?
Students intending to complete a Double Major typically require a longer normal duration for completion of the programme (i.e. beyond 4 / 5 years) and to take extra credits on a self-financed basis (i.e. higher tuition fee). The actual number of credits required for getting a Double Major depends on the level of commonality between the two Majors.
Students interested in taking a Second Major should first obtain approval from the host department of the First Major. They can then submit their applications to the host department of the Second Major from their second year of study. Only students with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or above can be considered for Second Major study enrolment. Departments can, however, stipulate a higher GPA requirement for entry to the Second Major.
Students who wish to withdraw from a Second Major programme need to apply for approval officially from the host department of the Second Major before the end of the Add / Drop Period of the last semester of study. Students will not be allowed to withdraw from a First Major and continue with the Second Major only.
