Course Structure
In the first semester at the University of Sydney, students will undertake a foundational course in social science, legal and political approaches to human rights and democratisation. During the second semester students will follow two core units of study complemented by either supervised research, an internship at an in-country organisation specialising in human rights/democratisation or undertake further specialised electives. Students must select one of the four partners universities listed above to undertake their second semester study.

In the second semester, students will take one of the following options:

Potential Students
We are looking for people who have a strong commitment to or experience on working on issues about human rights and democratisation. The degree will strongly benefit people already working in, or seeking to work in the fields of human rights and democratisation in our region.
Through a combination of academic and practical educational experiences, the objective of the program is to produce graduates who can support ongoing efforts to strengthen institutions dedicated to the protection and promotion of human rights and democracy and to enhance a regional culture of human rights and democracy. Recognising the critical institutional developments that are taking place both regionally and in particular countries during this time, the program has been set up to ensure that human rights and democracy advocates in the region are well resourced to lead us into the next decades.
Scholarships
Thirty scholarships, covering course fees and a living and travel allowance, will be offered to outstanding applicants from across the Asia Pacific region. This is made possible with the support of a significant grant from the European Commission.
Scholarships will be available to citizens of Asia Pacific countries (a full list of countries is available from the Academic Director upon request). The award of scholarships will be determined by academic qualifications and potential contribution to human rights and democratization.

Master Degrees Progams: Master of Public Policy, NUS
The Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy is a graduate school of the
National University of Singapore consistently ranked amongst the top 30
universities in the world by QS World University Rankings 2008. The School
aims to educate, train and generate ideas amongst a new generation of
globally minded policymakers and leaders from the public and private
sectors. Our students are entrepreneurs, public sector officials,
ambassadors, senators, editors, and aspiring leaders who are working on the
ground to make a difference.
The School currently attracts over 300 outstanding candidates from more than
50 countries, including China, India, USA and South East Asia and
Europe. These students come from diverse backgrounds in the public and
private sector.
The School also attracts global luminaries including former Prime Minister
of Britain, Tony Blair, President of World Bank Robert B. Zoellick, Nobel
Laureate Amartya Sen amongst others.
Under the leadership of Dean Kishore Mahbubani, a world renowned public
intellectual and former UN Ambassador from Singapore, the school has made a
mark globally.
The LKY School is the first Asian School to be admitted into the prestigious
Global Public Policy Network (GPPN) set up by Columbia University’s School
of International & Public Affairs (SIPA), the London School of Economics &
Political Science (LSE) and the Institut d’Etudes Politiques de Paris

area by electing to focus their studies on one of five specializations:
Development Studies; Economic Policy and Analysis; International Relations
and Security Studies; Social and Environmental Policy; and Public Management

experience, MPP students undertake a public policy or management study (the

Dear Henry,
I am writing to you as Chairperson of The Association of Honorary Consuls In Hong Kong and Macau to let you know that Yew Chung Education Foundation will offer up to two International Student Grants, to each Consulate for students to study at Yew Chung Community College for the One-year University Foundation Diploma Programme and/or the Two-year Associate Degree Programme commencing on I* September 2009. It is doing this to further develop the International and intercultural nature of " College's student body. The Foundation would be most grateful to you if you were able to make this known to members of your Association.
The grant offered is for up to 100% of the College Tuition Fee and can be retained by students while in the College during each year of study, subject to obtaining a satisfactory cumulative Grade Point Average over the previous years courses.
Student accommodation cannot be provided, I am afraid, and therefore places can only be offered to students with parents or guardians able to house and took after them In Hong Kong. Non-residents of Hong Kong have to obtain a Student Visa.
Yew Chung Community College (YCCQ was established by Yew Chung Education Foundation as an international Liberal ArtsMumanities post-secondary/higher education College taking in school leavers with appropriate qualifications and offering them courses leading to an Associate Degree as a good means of transferring to further study at University. The Programmes offered by YCCC focus on the sort of learning required by today's Universities. We offer courses on:
• English
• a Second Language, generally Chinese (Putonshua and Written Chinese)
• Thinking and Learning
• Maths and I.T.
• Appreciation of the Arts
Core Courses in Social Sciences/Hurnankies subjects covering:
o The Changing World Order
o China since 1949
o Sociology
o Economics
o Social Enquiry including a Field Study outside Hong Kong
o Psychology (Human Behaviour)
> Optional Courses in Maths, Sciences, and in the Social Sciences, e.g.
o Further Maths (Pre-Calculus)
o Environmental Science and Sustainability
o Fundamentals of Human Biology
o Politics and Government
o international Relations
o International Trade
* Business Administration

o Communication and the Media
YCCC has been accredited and has had its Programmes validated by the Hong Kong Council for the Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications. It has also been registered by the Hong Kong Governments Education Bureau and its
Programmes feature on the Hong Kong Government's Qualifications Framework.
Admission to the One-year University Foundation Diploma is from Form 5 in Hong
Kong schools or Year 11 in international schools with 5 passes in HKCEEACCSEIGCSE, one of which must be English, or the equivalent from another system. Admission to the Associate Degree Programme is from successful completion of the UFD Programme, or directly from the end of secondary education (Form 7 in Hong Kong and Years 12 or 13 in international and overseas education systems) with 5 passes at HKaEtIGCSE/GCSE, one of which must be English + I A Level or 2 AS levels or the equivalent from another system. Applicants should have reasonable competence in English at IELTS Level 5.5 or better, since they will be immersed in English within the College where the medium of teaching and learning is English.
YCCC has articulation agreements with 35 Universities around the world in USA, UK, Australia, Europe and Canada, and has had Programmes accepted as suitable prior learning for entry into a number of Hong Kong and Asian Universities. YCCC's AD graduates, who meet the necessary requirements set by individual universities, have a wide choice of further study opportunities and can enter into around 100 or more different degree course*. The articulation agreements enable AD graduates with an appropriate CPA and IELTS level to enter into the second year of three-year bachelor degree courses, or to transfer credits and complete a bachelor's degree in two years. A few universities offer to take students into the final year of a degree course (top-up degree courses).
The College has small classes (around 10 to 20) and a highly interactive and tutorial style of teaching and teaming which is much appreciated by the students. As one student puts it- 'For me YCCC is a very special College. The teachers come from different places and they all have rich teaching experience. In YCCC I can use my own ways for teeming. Moreover our College has small class learning and we can study In a good environment and teachers can focus on each student to work out our strengths and weaknesses. I love my College very much."

Further information on the College and its Programmes can be obtained from the College website at www.yccc.hk
Applications for enrolment can be made at any time from now onwards until late August, but since non-residents of Hong Kong have to obtain a place in the College before obtaining a student visa, the latter of which takes time, prospective student are encouraged to apply early.

It is a UNESCO World Heritage Artistic sight. At an elevation of 6,399 feet
above sea level, Morelia’s climate provides spring-like days throughout the year.”
