HKU or CU ?

HKU 名氣大d 一定有理由!!

CU English 連UE D左既人都收做major，又有literature courses, quite harsh for non-lit students.

前面個位話CU English 好似好好，咁係因為佢地d English courses harsh.

For entering the English course in year one (HKU BA), one has to get a minimum C in UE (excluding non-jupas, they base on different criteria), for majoring in English, one has to get a minimum C in first year course, so HKU English is the best among all universities in HK.

Of course you can choose the major you like, you can double major tim, but when you choose courses for the first year, you have to think of the major you want because these majors one has to complete the first year courses. If you wanna major in English, then in the first year you gotta take English.

As far as I know, only English has a minimum grade for taking major, other subjects are free to choose provided that you take the foundation course in year one.

HKU English has some literature courses as well, but you don't have to choose them, they are electives. In the first year, there's only one course, as long as you get a C in this course, you can take English as a major in the second year.

Since HKU BA was restructured last year, you can take courses from 'Language and Communication' and 'Linguistics' like the English courses and claim credits. For more information you can check it out at http://www.hku.hk/english

I am not a lit-student too, there are a lot of undergraduates who has lit background, if you take lit courses, it will be very hard to catch up. I took courses from the socio-linguistics stream, those courses are mainly about language and the society.

I had a friend who was admitted to CU English and he didn't like it at all, he tried to transferred the credits to HKU BA but he didn't succeed.

It's not that I am an English major in HKU BA for me to say good things about HKU English, but my friend, please think of the admission grade.

CU English: even people with a D in UE can study (I am not saying this course is not good, no offense for CU English majors!!!)
HKU English: first year - minimum C in UE; second year - minimum C in first year course
