Should I opt for CDMP programme?
The CDMP programme offers a unique opportunity to pursue double majors across Hong Kong and Shenzhen campuses, ideal for students who thrive in rigorous academic environments. You’ll gain deep expertise in two disciplines while adapting to cross-border learning – a rewarding challenge for those passionate about maximizing their university experience. This intensive path also requires careful commitment, as the combined curriculum leaves limited room for elective courses or minors compared to single major programmes.
