To facilitate the senior-year entrants’ articulation to their chosen areas of degree studies with
acceptance of their prior studies able to be transferred to university credits, we argue that
an alignment of the GE requirements in terms of course contents and quality equivalence
across various sub-degree and degree programmes requires deliberations and consensual
agreements among the key stakeholders of the post-secondary education community in Hong
Kong.
