HUI Pui Yee Betty “EdUHK provided me with abundant learning opportunities which have laid a solid foundation for me to become a mature history teacher. Without any doubt, the experience that made me grow the most was when I went into a school to teach for the very first time. From designing a lesson, writing a lesson plan, implementing the entire concept in the classroom to finally reflecting on my performance and making improvement, I tried to apply what I had learnt in the university to the actual teaching. These basic knowledge and skills did not only help me to perfect my lesson design, they also gave me confidence to integrate my ideas into different teaching activities. As a result, I would be able to promote students’ learning motivation.”   Bachelor of Education (Honours) (History) - 2021 graduate

• EdUHK is one of the teacher education providers in Hong Kong. Graduates of the University’s teacher education programmes are eligible to apply to become fully qualified and registered teachers. As regards teacher registration, graduates should approach the Teacher Registration Team of the Education Bureau (EDB) to submit applications directly. All applications will be assessed by the EDB. which will consider, among other things, whether an applicant has been convicted of any criminal offence (including sex-related offences) in Hong Kong or elsewhere, or is involved in any ongoing criminal proceedings or investigations.

• Students admitted into this programme starting from the 2024/25 cohort are required to visit the Greater Bay Area (GBA) for a short trip (e.g. 1-day or 2-day 1-night trip) in order to complete the Cross-Faculty Core Course. While the GBA trip is heavily subsidised, students are still required to contribute 18% of the best estimated cost of the trip ("student contribution"), whereas personal entertainment, meals expenses, visa application fee and personal insurance costs will not be supported. The estimated cost of the GBA trip for students admitted to the 2024/25 cohort is not available yet as it is subject to a variety of factors such as changes to the cost of the GBA trip as a result of inflation, trip duration, traveling expenses, the exchange rate, etc. The exact amount of student contribution is thus not available.
