Explore and Experience CLASS on CityU Information Day

University Information Day is often an inspirational moment of dreams burgeoning among secondary students. Joined by all colleges and schools, CityU Information Day was successfully held on 22 October. The hybrid event, made of virtual booths and on-campus activities, attracted numerous registrants and prospective students. 

The College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences (CLASS) and seven other academic units, namely Department of Chinese and History (CAH), English (EN), Linguistics and Translation (LT), Media and Communication (COM), Public and International Affairs (PIA), Social and Behavioural Sciences (SS) as well as Chan Feng Men-ling Chan Shuk-lin Language Centre (LC) arranged a string of online and face-to-face activities showcasing the admission paths, academic programmes, campus life and all sorts of learning opportunities.

The College held an online admission talk titled “Explore the World of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences”. Prof Richard M WALKER, Dean of CLASS, first greeted the registrants across the screen. He began by introducing the two broad areas of CLASS and how they manifest in the interdisciplinary education effort and global awareness among its students. Dr Peppina LEE, Associate Dean (Undergraduate Education and Quality Assurance) of CLASS, set out an overview of the programmes, study pathways and exchange opportunities. The plethora of learning experiences will guarantee students the flexibility to forge their own path at CLASS.

Apart from the information sessions, academic units such as LC, COM and SS also provided on-campus activities, including game booths, guided tours and demonstration workshops for interested registrants. Led by student ambassadors and staff, they set foot on the campus to have a glimpse of the learning facilities and research laboratories. The on-campus activities allowed them to explore and experience more about CLASS, which gives students an edge in pursuing higher education beyond boundaries.
