Course Load
- A course at HKU usually has 6 HKU credits (3 credits for broadening courses). A full load is 30 credits for one semester (60 credits for a year) but you might also take a minimum of 24 credits to a maximum of 36 credits each semester, subject to the approval of the Dean/Head of the Department.
- Within each semester's full load of 30 credits, half of them must come from a single faculty. That means you should pick three courses from one faculty while the remainding can be chosen from other faculties.
- All courses, except those offered by the Department of Chinese, are taught in English.
