§ Course catalog

Open a course for its assessment table, course topic list, worked example and week-by-week study plan.
ENGL7516
Creative Writing Foundations: Fiction and Nonfiction
The demanding part is revising the effect of a scene rather than only correcting its grammar. Keep a record of the change you made and what it does to the reader.
HIST7008
Doing Hong Kong History: Methods, Debates, and Sources
A source can support a narrower claim than the one you want to make. Strong historical writing identifies who produced the evidence, for whom and under what constraints.
LLAW6093B
Regulation of Financial Markets
You need to distinguish a policy objective from the instrument intended to achieve it. A plausible rule still needs an explanation of its costs, scope and unintended effects.
LLAW6132
International and Comparative Intellectual Property Law
The challenge is moving between treaty commitments and national legal rules without treating them as interchangeable. State the jurisdiction and legal level of each argument.
LLAW6259
Understanding Common Law
The MCL's compulsory first month: common law versus civil law, contract and tort through the cases, and legal English; Pass/Fail, 20% oral and 80% written.
MDUM8010
Dissertation
The largest risk is a research question that needs more evidence than you can obtain. Reduce scope before collecting data, and preserve an audit trail of every analytical decision.
MEDD6128
Curriculum Conceptions and Design
The conceptions-of-curriculum course of the MEd C&P specialism: ideologies, design and assessment as part of design; 100% coursework in four pieces.
MEDD8001
Educational Issues and Research
The compulsory MEd core: educational issues through four disciplinary lenses plus an introduction to reading research; 100% coursework, 3,000-4,000 words.
MEDD8815
Introduction to Statistical Methods
Choosing a method is harder than pressing a software button. Identify the outcome type, the comparison and the assumptions before interpreting the result.
MEDD8937
Curriculum Implementation and Leadership
Why curricula stall after design: implementation stages, the Concerns-Based Adoption Model, support measures and leaders' roles; 100% coursework in three tasks.
MGAP7001
Public Governance and Policy Implementation: Comparative Perspective
A compulsory MGP course on how governments design, implement and account for policy, compared across federal and unitary systems; 100% coursework.
MSMK7001
Marketing Management
A recommendation needs a chosen customer and a credible reason to buy. Listing every marketing tool weakens the logic if the tools serve conflicting positions.
PHIL7002
Ethics: AI, Data and Algorithms
A 9-credit MA core on the ethics of AI, big data and algorithmic decisions: fairness, procedural justice, privacy, adversarial risk; 100% coursework.
PMGM7001
Fundamentals of Global Management
Avoid explaining every team problem as a personality flaw. Trace how incentives, roles and working arrangements shape the behaviour you observe.
PMGM7002
Managing Across Cultures
Culture is a possible explanation, not a licence to stereotype. Compare alternative explanations and ask what the people involved actually mean.
PMGM7014
China Business Environment
The analytical challenge is identifying which part of the environment changes the decision. Broad claims about a whole market need narrower evidence and a stated date.
PMGM7023
Management Analytics
HKU Business School's evidence-based decision course with R exercises from descriptive statistics to regression, forecasting and network analysis; no published weighting split.
POLI7012
Comparative Politics of Modern Southeast Asia
A comparison needs a shared outcome and a defensible mechanism. Two country narratives placed side by side are not yet an explanation.
SCNC1112
Fundamentals of Modern Science
HKU's first-year integrated science foundation across physics, chemistry, biology, earth science and astronomy; 45% exam, quizzes, homework and a group presentation.
URBP7005
Planning Future Cities and Regions
Core MSc Urban Planning course on sustainability megatrends, planning and policy tools and their assessment systems; 100% coursework.
§ FAQ
About The University of Hong Kong on AskSia.
Which The University of Hong Kong courses does AskSia cover?
20 courses so far, listed in full above. We publish a guide only where we have real course material, so the catalogue grows rather than starting complete.
Where does the information come from?
Each guide is built from that course's own published materials: the official course outline, the syllabus and the course pages. Where a course does not publish something, we leave it out rather than estimate it.
Are the assessment weightings accurate?
Every published assessment table sums to 100 and is taken from the course's own materials. Weightings can change between offerings, so always confirm against your current outline.
Do you name teaching staff?
Only where the course itself names them. Where a course publishes no staff, the guide says nothing rather than guessing.
Is AskSia affiliated with the university?
No. AskSia is an independent AI learning aid with no official affiliation with any institution.
