The MADHCP programme is offered in a one-year full-time mode. Most courses are offered once per year. Full-time students are expected to complete the programme requirements within one year. Classes for full-time mode will be mostly conducted on weekday evenings, while some classes will be held in the morning and/or afternoon of weekdays/Saturdays. Where necessary, classes may be arranged during long holidays (e.g., to make up classes affected by bad weather). Classes will be conducted mainly at our Tai Po Campus, while some courses might be held at the Tseung Kwan O Study Center/ North Point Study Centre/ Kowloon Tong Satellite Study Centre/ Sports Centre.
Semesters
The programme will be taught over two semesters, September-December and January-June. There will be a non-teaching period before the end of each semester for students to complete course assignments. Students normally complete all coursework by the end of May, or early-June for students taking the Digital Humanities Project. Final results are normally announced in August.
