XU Haonan Gatsby “The BEd(CHI HIST) programme has provided me with a lot of support and resources to learn more about Chinese History and education. The excellent teaching team has enriched my professional knowledge in Chinese History. The University has offered a wide variety of activities which enable me to develop my potential and specialties further. These experiences help me to equip myself to become a competent Chinese History teacher."   Bachelor of Education (Honours) (Chinese History) - 2023 Graduate

HUNG Po Ling “I feel so blessed for studying the BEd(CHI HIST) programme in EdUHK where I have gained fruitful knowledge and experience. During these five years, I learned to acquire and analyse historical events comprehensively. The training in teaching methodologies prepared me to teach in the secondary sector. The two teaching practicums helped me to be more familiar with the teaching duties and provided opportunities to get along with students. I believe that my learning journey in EdUHK has equipped me with all the requirements to become a teacher of high calibre and will even inspire my future students.”   Bachelor of Education (Honours) (Chinese History) - 2021 Graduate
