Faculty compulsory course - SSAF6001 Basic Laboratory Safety Course for RPg candidates in Faculty of Science
To enhance the safety awareness and knowledge of Science RPg students, the Safety Office offers a compulsory 3-hour safety course (SSAF6001) for all Science RPg students, including MPhil, 3-year PhD and 4-year PhD candidates. The course covers general laboratory safety, specific laboratory hazards, fire safety, risk assessment and safety regulations.
The safety course is conducted twice a year, with one session offered each semester. Students may register this course during the on-line course enrolment period and will be informed of the detailed schedule via email. This course is assessed on a Pass/Fail basis.
SSAF6001 is regarded as an independent Faculty course that all RPg students are required to complete it before the candidature can be confirmed. Departmental courses refer only to departmental core and elective courses. Please note that completion of at least 50% of departmental courses does not include SSAF6001.
The Joint Centre for Advanced Study (JCAS) is a joint effort among the University of Hong Kong, the Chinese University of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in developing greater cooperation and deeper collaboration in higher education. The joint offering of courses for research postgraduate students is one of the initiatives.
