Overview

This is a 4 weeks liberal studies program on globalization, catering for senior secondary school students. The program’s curriculum would be similar to courses taught in a typical United States’ university freshman year’s general education program. Subjects taught would follow the globalization module listed in the New Secondary School Liberal Studies Curriculum (See http://ls.edb.hkedcity.net/Home/Index.aspx). Upon completion of this program, students are expected to gain deeper understandings in the topic of globalization.
