DegreePlus
DegreePlus is an initiative offered by SDS
to provide students with opportunities to
participate in off-classroom activities that
can develop students’ lifelong interests and
transferable skills for their workplaces.
In addition, DegreePlus can enhance
students’ self-awareness and connections
with others.
Therefore, DegreePlus is a comprehensive approach to university life that sets out to expand students’ learning beyond their major fields of study.
DegreePlus Programme
DegreePlus is a wide range of co-curricular
activities, including, community services,
athletics, arts and cultural, interest
clubs, and leadership experiences.
It is recommended that students should
involve themselves in at least one
out-of-classroom activity in order to
cultivate a life-long interest that extends
beyond the attainment of an academic degree.
The
areas of interest include sports, dancing,
drama, magic, TED Talks, photography,
balloon arts, and astronomy.
There are over 40
DegreePlus student groups including fourteen
‘Sports Clubs’; seventeen ‘Interest clubs’;
five ‘Community Services’ groups; and five
‘Music’ groups.
In
addition, there are 23 Student Chapters at
college/school and department levels under
their relevant academic units.
As of the
end of January 2023, more than 60 student
groups that provide off-classroom activities
for 3,000+ students. For the list of
DegreePlus Student Groups, please click

Through the DegreePlus programme, students
can demonstrate what they achieved in both
academic and non-academic areas at CityU.
The skills and achievements in
DegreePlus activities will be much-valued by
prospective employers and give students an
important edge in the future.
