General Education Programme

The College aims to culture students with entrepreneurial spirit and social responsibility, alongside with our College mission. All students at Wu Yee Sun College have to attend two College General Education courses – 'Creative Social Responsibility and Sustainable Development' (or ‘Hong Kong Story’*/ 'Service-learning: The Spirit of Hong Kong'*) and 'College Senior Seminar', and one non-credit bearing course 'College Assembly/ College Forum', which amount to six units in total.

In the first year course 'Creative Social Responsibility and Sustainable Development', students would be introduced the many faces of society, explore ways to benefit the community and contribute to a sustainable future in creative ways through workshops. After four years of enrichment in the non-credit bearing activities including Forums and High/Round Table Lunches/Dinners, students would work out a proposal which promises to bring social benefits to the community. The College also offers other noncredit bearing General Education activities, such as talks, service-learning, student-initiated activities etc, to let students take part actively in learning activities based on the College motto 'Scholarship and Perseverance' and the mission 'Entrepreneurial Spirit with Social Responsibility'.

*for non-Cantonese speaking students only; open in term 1 only.
