Programme: History Programme

The Department of History successfully passed the review exercise of the Hong Kong Council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications in 2005 to launch its four-year full-time undergraduate programme.

The department aims to equip its students with thorough understanding of Chinese history whilst also providing a global perspective. The programme encompasses specialised issues such as Chinese historiography, cultural history, economic history and intellectual history. Topics such as world history, history of the world and China, as well as regional history (including Hong Kong) are also taught in the programme. Since the 1990s, the department has also run a master’s programme on ancient/modern and contemporary history with Peking University.
