Programmes and degrees: what can you study at CityU?
Ten colleges and schools, four-year bachelor's degrees, five-year double degrees, six-year veterinary medicine. Check how long a programme runs, then choose a college.
Start with the length: four, five or six years
| Type of degree | Duration |
|---|---|
| Bachelor's degree programmes | normally four years |
| Double degree programmes | five years |
| Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine | six years |
The length has a direct effect on three things: the total tuition, how many years of hall accommodation are guaranteed (the first two), and how long entry scholarships are paid (see the costs and scholarships pages).
