The Office of Programmes at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences was set up in July 2001 to offer multi-disciplinary, cross-departmental programmes, and to facilitate the introduction of innovative programmes of study.
The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences serves a large number of students, both within the Faculty and from other Faculties/Schools. Together with the Faculty’s three Divisions – Asian Studies, Humanities, and Social Sciences – and the Centre for Language Studies, the Office of Programmes aims to provide quality education for the development of well-rounded graduates who will be adept at meeting the challenges of an increasingly borderless world and creating value in the new knowledge economy.
The Office of Programmes currently offers 6 multi-disciplinary programmes and 6 minor programmes of study.

The Office of Programmes will be at the fore-front of new cross-disciplinary areas of study that are emerging, with the introduction of exciting multi-disciplinary programmes for students in the Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences.
