How it's used
Academic structures in Hong Kong universities often follow the British model where a faculty or school contains multiple departments. While 学部 is used in some institutions, it is less common than 學院 for the main administrative unit. It typically refers to a specific grouping of related disciplines within a larger university structure.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 學系, which refers specifically to a single department like the Department of History. Using them interchangeably can cause confusion regarding the administrative hierarchy of a university.
