Chinese Language Studies (BA) and Chinese Language Education (BEd)

专业介绍

This five-year co-terminal double-degree programme offered by the Faculty of Education integrates academic and professional training over the course of five years, and prepares students to become professional Chinese language teachers. The courses offered by the Department of Chinese Language and Literature enrich students’ knowledge of Chinese language and literature, and the educational studies courses offered by the Faculty of Education develop their pedagogical content knowledge, teaching skills and ability to conduct educational research. The programme also includes school experience and teaching practice in local schools to ensure that students have an opportunity to put theory into practice.

Upon fulfilment of the programme requirements, students are simultaneously awarded two degrees—a Bachelor of Arts (BA) and a Bachelor of Education (BEd)—which together are recognised as equivalent to a Postgraduate Diploma in Education (PGDE), ensuring that our students meet the professional requirements needed to obtain qualified teacher status. Graduates of the programme are fully qualified to teach Chinese in local primary and secondary schools.
