Immanuel Kant (1724–1804) defined enlightenment as having the freedom to use one’s own reason in all matters. Prof. Chiu Chi-yue, Dean of the Faculty of Social Science, said, ‘We inspire and enlighten. We strive to create social knowledge that is communicable, innovative, rigorous and socially relevant; knowledge that improves the well-being of the individuals and that of society; knowledge that will be taught globally; and knowledge that will inform policies and transform societies.’

To Professor Chiu, social science is the study of how the way of the world and the self constitute each other. The way of the world includes how things are arranged and organized in cultures and institutions, and the self is a complex system of an individual’s thoughts, feelings, motives, judgments and behaviors. Every social science subject, although each has its unique disciplinary perspective, strives to decipher how the world and the self make each other up. Professor Chiu continued, ‘Our Faculty adopts dual-mode admission. Social Science Broad-based, in parallel with programme-based admission, is offered to help its students make informed choices on major declaration.’ It welcomes prospective students with social concern, interdisciplinary vision, proactive learning attitude and curiosity. To ensure that Social Science Broad-based students have adequate exposure to various social science subjects before choosing their majors, they are allowed to take various basic courses offered by the Faculty.
