The Faculty will also launch two new interdisciplinary programmes—’urban studies’ and ‘global economics and finance’—to nurture future social leaders and professionals in global economics and finance. The Faculty will admit a total of 89 students for the 2012 entry via broad- based admission, allowing them to take various basic courses in Year 1, including at least three Faculty Package courses offered by different departments/schools at the Faculty. Associate deans and teachers from various departments/schools at the Faculty will serve as academic advisers to provide personal advice and guidance for students on academic problems and programme selection.
