Additional Major (UG)

With the approval of the relevant Major-program Coordinators, students may complete the requirements for more than one major program.  Except in the case of specially approved dual-degree programs, students may graduate with only one degree.  Successful completion of the additional major will be recorded on the academic transcript and degree diploma.

Students must observe the prescribed requirements and restrictions, and obtain academic advice and approval from the major department for enrollment and completion of additional majors.

Students must have already enrolled in the first major before they can declare additional majors.  They will not be approved to take additional major(s) which are too closely related to their major(s) already declared.

To graduate with an additional major, students must take all the requirements specified for that major, within which they must complete 20 single-counted credits.  These 20 credits cannot be used to fulfill any other requirements for graduation except for the 120-credit degree requirements.  (This rule applies to students admitted in 2015-16 academic year and onwards.)

To have the completion of additional major recorded on the academic transcript and degree diploma, students must declare in the major no later than the last day of add/drop period in the first regular term of the final year of study.  They should complete a form for Declaration /Withdrawal of Additional Undergraduate Major Program (Form RR-47). The same form is used for students who apply for withdrawal from the additional major program.
