簡介

自香港中文大學一九六三年成立以來，通識教育一直是大學本科課程的基石。中大通識教育課程最初以書院為本，在八十年代發展成為大學統籌的七個學習範圍；第三代的中大通識教育課程自二零一二年起，包含兩個精心建構的通識教育基礎科目、大學通識教育四範圍的選修科目，以及書院通識課程。

面對愈趨複雜的全球挑戰，大學似乎需要適時地檢視通識教育課程。作為大學策略計劃的一部分，中大通識 4.0 (GE4.0) 將會是怎樣的面貌？

Brief Description

From the founding of CUHK in 1963, General Education (GE) has been a cornerstone of the University’s undergraduate curriculum. Starting as a College-based programme, it grew into a University GE curriculum comprising seven study areas in the 1980s, before reaching its third and current incarnation in 2012, with two carefully crafted Foundation courses, selected modules in four areas, as well as College GE.

In the face of complex global challenges, a review of the CUHK GE curriculum seems timely. As a part of the University’s new strategic plan, what might CUHK GE 4.0 look like?
