Non-credit Bearing General Education Programmes for the Second Semester, 2016 - 2017
Search:  GE2016-


Fear is Live Now
 
GE has endeavoured to curate co-curricular programmes that are creative and proactive in order to develop a collegial, flexible, pluralistic and supportive intellectual environment since 1995. In this semester, the theme is “Fear is Live Now” and a series of programmes are curated to probe into the thematic issues from different perspectives and various spectrums. 
 
In addition, programmes on arts and culture, politics, sustainability, science and personal are offered. Our Student Team (GEST) is recruiting members throughout the year to let your talents shine and to share some happy hours at the Gatherland.
 
Although 'fear is live now', fear not, as there are many ways to view it and to deal with it. Have a cheerful and fruitful semester joining our GE programmes!
