About GE at HKBU
At the core of any university’s education is a commitment to the philosophy that successful and satisfying lives require a wide range of knowledge and skills. These skills include effective communication (in a variety of forms); an appreciation of one’s cultural heritage and how it impacts the global community; an understanding of the sciences and technological change as it shapes our natural environment; an appreciation for the arts as it nurtures our souls; familiarity with diverse cultures and how cultural movements contribute to societies and their values; an ability to reason logically and quantitatively and to constantly search for “meaning”; and most of all the ethical values that shape our lives and societies.
