Double Degree Programmes with College of Humanities and Sciences

Overview

Students from Cohort AY2021/2022 onwards may pursue a double degree programme (DDP) between the College of Design and Engineering (CDE) and the College of Humanities and Sciences (CHS) which may comprise any combination of majors between the two colleges. They will graduate with two honours degrees, one from CDE and the other from CHS. The DDP can be completed within 4 or 4.5 years (i.e. 8 or 9 regular semesters). 

Programme structure and requirements

The specific requirements for various cohorts may be found below.

In general, students will typically need to read around 192 units in order to complete the DDP. However, this number may be higher or lower depending on the specific combination of majors from CDE and CHS that is selected for the DDP as there may be some courses which can be double-counted between the selected majors or some majors may have additional courses.

The overall curriculum structure of the DDP comprises the following:

  • A combined CDE-CHS Common Curriculum
  • One major from CDE
  • One major from CHS

Double counting between CDE and CHS majors

Double counting of courses between the two majors from CDE and CHS, including the joint FYP/HT, will be considered on a major-to-major basis. This is subject to a limit of 24 units (i.e., 40% of the CHS major) and a minimum graduation requirement of 160 units for the DDP.

The double counting may include final year project (FYP) or honours thesis (HT) courses for selected combinations of CDE and CHS majors, subject to the following conditions:

  • The FYP/HT courses that are double counted must have the same workload, i.e. 8 units.
  • The scope of work for the FYP/HT is approved by both majors.
  • The FYP/HT must be supervised by academic staff from both majors or academic staff with joint appointment in both majors.
  • The FYP/HT is not used to fulfil a specialisation within either major.

Pre-approved double counting arrangements between selected CDE and CHS majors may be found below. This list will be updated over time as new DDP combinations are formed and when new courses relevant to both majors are proposed. Where there is no pre-approved double counting arrangement, students will be required to seek approval from both CDE and CHS.

Students can double-count either 4 units or 8 units from any combination of the following mathematics courses in an Engineering major toward: (a) EC2104 Quantitative Methods for Economic Analysis, and (b) one 4-unit Level 2000 EC elective.

  • MA1511 Engineering Calculus (2 units)
  • MA1512 Differential Equations (2 units)
  • MA1513 Linear Algebra with Differential Equations (2 units)
  • MA1505 Mathematics I (4 units)
  • MA1508E Linear Algebra for Engineering (4 units)

Additionally, students from Industrial and Systems Engineering may double-count ST2334 Probably and Statistics toward EC2303 Foundations of Econometrics. Students who have completed EC2303 prior to reading ST2334 must still complete the latter.

Subject to approval from both majors, students whose home Faculty is CDE may double-count Integrated Project in the CDE major toward EC4401 Honours Thesis in the Economics major. Similarly, students whose home Faculty is CHS may double-count EC4401 toward Integrated Project.

EC4401 Honours Thesis may also be replaced with EC-coded Level 4000 regular courses. However, students must still complete Integrated Project in CDE and there is no double-counting between the Integrated Project course and the EC-coded Level 4000 courses.

Students should read the following equivalent MA-coded courses in the CHS major instead of those in their Engineering major.

* NOTE: Because of the two-way preclusions between these courses in the Engineering majors their equivalent courses in CHS, students whose home Faculty is CDE are strongly encouraged to read the latter instead of the former if they are planning to enrol in this DDP. However, mid-stream DDP students whose home Faculty is CDE and have read the former can request to double-count them toward the latter.

Students can double-count up to 12 units of these courses between their Engineering major and their CHS major.

  • The scope of work is approved by both majors.
  • The project must be jointly supervised by academic staff from both majors.

Effective AY2025/2026 onwards, there is no double counting of FYP/HT courses between Biomedical Engineering and Life Sciences because the FYP/HT courses in Life Sciences are tagged to specific specialisations.

  • The scope of work is approved by both majors.
  • The project must be jointly supervised by academic staff from both majors.

Effective AY2025/2026 onwards, there is no double counting of FYP/HT courses between Environmental and Sustainability Engineering / Environmental Engineering and Life Sciences because the FYP/HT courses in Life Sciences are tagged to specific specialisations.

Students can double-count up to 24 units of these core and elective courses between Engineering Science and Physics.

Candidature period and tuition fees

Regardless of the combination of majors for this DDP (including the XDPs), the normal candidature period is 10 regular semesters. However, most students in the DDP should be able to graduate within 8 or 9 semesters depending on their choice of majors in CDE and CHS. 

Students in this DDP are required to pay only the prevailing tuition fee of their primary degree programme (i.e. following their home Faculty) during the normal candidature period. However, those who take longer than the normal candidature period to complete the DDP will have to pay partial non-subsidized fees, culminating in full non-subsidised fees, during the extended semesters.

Continuation requirement and exit

Students in this DDP will need to maintain a minimum GPA of 3.50 for both degree programmes. They will be given a warning if they do not meet this requirement for a single semester. Those who do not meet this requirement for two consecutive semesters will be required to withdraw from the DDP by withdrawing from the second degree programme. However, this continuation requirement is not applicable once a student's total cumulative units exceed 140 units.

A student may decide to withdraw or can be asked to withdraw from this DDP by withdrawing from the second degree programme. All the courses that the student has taken to fulfil the requirements of the second degree will be reflected in the transcript and included in the computation of the GPA for the single degree programme.

Students in this DDP who want to withdraw from the first degree (i.e. originally offered degree) programme and change to the second degree programme must seek a formal transfer through the Office of Admissions.
