OUR APPROACHThe BA (Hons) Programme in
Contemporary English Studies (BACES) isan innovative degree programme that
combines literature and languagestudies to develop students’ critical and
cultural awareness, analyticalability, and English proficiency.
We aim to provide an all-round Englisheducation within Lingnan’s liberal arts
environment, characterised by closeattention to teaching, small class sizes,
and multicultural learning environments.
EXPERIENCE
We host Writer-in-Residence workshopsregularly. The Writer-in-Residence offers
elective courses in his or her areas ofinterest and develops students’ creativewriting abilities by enabling them to see
their work in print via an in-house literaryjournal. We also invite internationally
recognised writers to give writing coursesand workshops.
INNOVATION
We have a strong focus on critical,creative and performance skills and aim to
prepare students for a widerange of careers and life opportunities. We
also encourage every BACES student toparticipate in a study-abroad
programme, developing both language skills and intercultural awareness.
