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 interested in a Minor must submit their applications via the Major Programme Offering Department (i.e. Major Department) and obtain approval from Minor Department, at the start of second year of study, unless the Major is so designed as to preclude the possibility of a further Minor study. 

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. 

Students admitted to the advanced stage of a programme on senior year status and those admitted to an articulation degree programme will not be given the option to study for a Minor. For students who are admitted on the basis of advanced standing, the programme offering department will decide whether they will be given the option to study a Minor at the time of admission, based on individual merits.
