Honours Project

4-year curriculum:

Under the 4-year curriculum, the Honours Project carries 6 credit units for the Geography Major, double degrees of GEOG-LST and GEOG-PSHET and the China Studies – Geography Concentration programmes. Topic selection for the project will take place towards the end of the third year of study (forth year for double degrees of GEOG-LST and GEOG-PSHET), under the guidance of the Chief Adviser. The project should be based on the analysis of a problem through fieldwork or through the analysis of secondary data. The project should demonstrate that students have developed geographical field, practical and analytical skills within the context of the chosen research topic. For Geography Major and double-degree  students, the project is to be written in English, except under special circumstances. For China Studies students, the project must be on an aspect of China. It can be written in either English or Chinese, which is to be determined by the student in consultation with the Chief Adviser.
