Supporting our commitment to whole-person education, the 
undergraduate degree programmes at Baptist University all have 
an important and substantial liberal education component, 
otherwise known as Complementary Studies.  Some of these 
subjects are 6 units of Religion & Philosophy elective 
subjects, 3-6 units of language proficiency subjects and
3 units of computer literacy.


All honours degree students are required to undertake a 
significant final-year research project which results in an 
independent thesis.



III.  Continuing Education


The School of Continuing Education offers over 700 short courses 
and a diversity of programmes and services which extend to 
diploma, undergraduate and postgraduate programmes through 
external institutions, local distance learning programmes, test 
services, courses designed for professional examinations, 
seminars, workshops, conferences, television courses, tailor-
made courses, in-house training, publications, etc.



IV  Research

Research is an essential element in the life of Baptist
University and individual research is encouraged on every level, 
incorporating research methodology and practice in all courses. 
Every student is required to complete an honours project.  
Through these activities, academics and students form 
partnerships in their scholarly endeavours.


These research elements are undergirded by the InstitutionŐs 
multiple research centres:  The Centre for Applied Ethics, the 
Centre for Child Development, the Business Research Centre, the 
Centre for Surface Analysis and Research, the Centre for 
Translation, the Centre for Waste Recycling and Environmental 
Biotechnology, and the Statistics Research & Consultancy Unit.

Each of the Centres not only undergirds the InstitutionŐs 
research base, but provides a bridge to the Hong Kong community 
by providing consultancy services and special programmes.


Adding to the research strength of the University are two 
affiliated Institutes which have membership from major 
universities worldwide and based in Baptist University. These 
two Institutes are The Wing Lung Bank International Institute 
for Business Development and the David C. Lam Institute for 
East-West Studies.
