# For BBA students, in the case that the same course being offered in the Major and in College Electives, the credit units earned will count only once, for fulfilling the Major requirement, then for fulfilling the College requirement. Students have to take another College elective course to make up for the freed credit units. Students are responsible for ensuring the College and Major requirements are fulfilled to obtain graduation qualification.

For Normative 4-year students declaring BBA double major, 9 credits of College Elective will be exempted.

Normative 4-year degree students admitted from 2022/23 onwards are required to fulfill the internship/ consultancy project/ research project requirement. Students may fulfill this requirement by taking approved course from college elective or major core/elective but preference shall be given to the major course as it is more directly relevant to students' chosen major(s).

Students enrolled in double degree programmes with other schools/colleges, or joint bachelor's degree programmes with overseas universities are not  required to fulfill this internship/ consultancy project/ research project requirement, unless otherwise required by the major programme.
