*HL4099 - Graduation Essay (FYP)
The Opt-In FYP system will apply to HSS students admitted in 2013 and after. For History, it will be for students admitted in 2012 and after. Students should be of Year 4 standing before they can start on the FYP. It is compulsory for students with GPA of 3.90 and above to complete FYP. Those within the holding band of 3.75 to 3.89 will be allowed to opt-in to do FYP and for those below the required GPA will not be allowed to complete FYP but can read two 4000-level courses instead to fulfill the 8AUs requirement. To obtain a 1st or 2nd class upper honours degree, however, students must read and complete their graduation projects.
