This programme offered me an opportunity to learn about law, politics and sociology. All in all, these three years at SCOPE gave me a practical and well-rounded experience which would always be valuable to me.

CityU SCOPE is where I discovered my interest and passion in social science. Not only did I benefit from getting to know the wide range of issues and perspectives covered in the programme, but I was also inspired to deepen my knowledge in psychology through studying a master’s degree.
