What are the differences between Bachelor of Education (BEd) programmes and other undergraduate programmes?
Bachelor of Education (BEd) programmes are aimed at training pre-service teachers who will be equipped well with in-depth major-related knowledge and professional teacher training. Graduates of the BEd programmes may register with the Education Bureau of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government as a qualified teacher and teach in kindergartens, primary schools or secondary schools.
Graduates of the 5-year full-time co-terminal double degree programmes will be awarded both Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Education qualifications. They will be equipped with solid subject knowledge in addition to in-depth knowledge and skills in professional teaching training.
Graduates of the 4-year full-time complementary undergraduate programmes will be awarded the qualification of Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Social Sciences with solid subject knowledge. Graduates who wish to join the teaching profession may choose to undertake the one-year full-time or two-year part-time Postgraduate Diploma in Education (PGDE) programmes in order to acquire the qualification for registering as qualified teachers.
