Q1. What is the Office of Programmes about?

The Office of Programmes at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences was set up in July 2001 to offer multi-disciplinary, cross-departmental programmes, and to facilitate the introduction of innovative programmes of study. The Office of Programmes currently offers 5 multi-disciplinary programmes and 6 open minor programmes of study.

Each of these cross-departmental programmes will have its own academic convenor and/or curricular committee to oversee standards and chart development. Cross-departmental programme modules will be offered by a host department and cross-listed as a programme module.
