Programme Descriptions
Each of the
three double degrees is a five-year full-time programme leading to two
degree awards. Each programme is jointly offered by the Departments of
Education Studies, Geography, History, and Sociology, and prepares students
in two distinct disciplines. Students who successfully complete the
programme will hold a recognised teaching qualification for schools in Hong
Kong.
The aims and
learning outcomes of the Geography, History or Sociology components are the
same as those for the respective single degrees. Students will also complete
an Honours Project under the guidance and supervision of academic staff of
the three Departments.
For the
education component, students will develop personal and professional
qualities that enable them to function effectively within the teaching
profession in Hong Kong. They will master important theoretical and
practical knowledge of educational practices, and be able to teach the
subject of Liberal Studies effectively. An essential element of the
education component is the Field Practice, which is divided into three
periods within the programme. A satisfactory completion of the Field
Practice is a requirement for graduation. Students will be visited and
assessed by supervisors of the Department of Education Studies during this
stage of the programme.
In addition to
two academic disciplines, students will also be exposed to knowledge and
skills of many other fields through the General Education and Electives
components of the programmes. The University also provides ample opportunity
for local and foreign internships, study tours and overseas exchanges.
Career
Opportunities
The double
degrees will prepare students to enter a wide variety of careers. Other than
joining the teaching profession, students can also embark on a career in the
civil service, the business sector, or other civil society organizations.
The programmes will provide students with flexibility that is increasingly
valued in a fast-changing, globally-oriented city.
