Choosing the first courses to get started
Depending on total credit exemption granted, students may or may not need to take foundation level courses. For those who need to do so, the course SOSC A121C Foundations of Social Sciences: Psychology (社會科學基礎課程：心理學) or SOSC A122C Foundations of Social Sciences: Sociology (社會科學基礎課程：社會學) is highly recommended. Students who feel that their English language skills need improvement could also consider taking the course ENGL A101 University English Writing Skills. Students who do not need to take foundation level courses are advised to begin with courses such as LESM A201 Hong Kong Criminal Justice System, LESM A202 Police and Society, LESM A203 Psychology for Law Enforcement, and LESM A204 Security Practice and Management.
Students should consult the academic staff for course selection if they intend to apply for credit transfer from a recognized tertiary institution.
