GRM 1121 Field Studies I
Field teaching is an integral part in the study of geography,
which gives students an opportunity to understand the real-world
situations and to supplement what they have learnt from the
lectures. This course is designed for year 1 students, in
the format of a local field camp to be held in December during
their 1st year of study. The objectives are three-fold: (1)
to introduce students different techniques in the collection
of field data; (2) to help students identify, understand,
and explain the geographical problems of a region; and (3)
to provide an opportunity for students to work as a team in
problem-solving. Students are required to participate actively
in all activities throughout the field camp and to submit
an individual report afterwards.

GRM 2121 Field Studies II
While field teaching is an integral part in the study of geography,
students would benefit more if they have the opportunity of
conducting field study in an overseas country. This course
is designed for year two students, in the format of a study
trip outside Hong Kong. It will be held during the summer
vacation, under the supervision of one or more faculty members.
The objectives of this course are three-fold: 1) to broaden
students' horizon and knowledge base through exposure to a
new environment outside Hong Kong; 2) to enable students to
make comparative studies between Hong Kong and other countries/regions;
and 3) to provide an opportunity for students to interact
with overseas students and scholars of the same discipline.
Students are required to participate actively in all activities
throughout the trip and to submit an individual report afterwards.

GRM 3121 Field Studies III
While field teaching is an integral part in the study of geography,
no two places are the same in the world. This course is designed
for third-year students, in the format of a study trip outside
Hong Kong yet the place of visit shall be different from Field
Studies II. It will be held during the summer vacation, under
the supervision of one or more faculty members. The objectives
of this course are four-fold: 1) to further broaden students'
horizon and knowledge base through exposure to a new environment
outside Hong Kong; 2) to provide an opportunity for students
to interact with overseas students and scholars of the same
discipline; 3) to enable students to make comparative studies
between Hong Kong and other countries/regions; and 4) to serve
as an acid test of what students have learnt from the discipline.
Students are required to participate actively in all activities
throughout the trip and to submit an individual report afterwards.

GRM 3021 Final Year Thesis I
Students are required to undertake individual projects using
an integrative approach and produce theses in any field of
geography and resource management under the guidance of their
instructors. Study topics of students' interests and choices
are not geographically limited to Hong Kong, but topics of
local and regional relevance are encouraged. Part I concentrates
on the formulation of a research problem, proposal writing,
research design and data collection. Part II aims at data
analysis/laboratory experiments, interpretation of analytical/experimental
results and thesis writing.
