If you choose English or Putonghua as your Teaching Subject Study 1 (TSS1) in full-time primary programme or English as your Major Subject Studies (MSS) in full-time secondary programme, a compulsory immersion programme (around 6 weeks) will be arranged around November and December in the first semester of the programme. While Immersion Programmes are heavily subsidised, local students are required to contribute no less than 18% of the best estimated cost of the Immersion Programmes ("students’ contribution"). Non-local students are also required to contribute no less than 18% of the best estimated cost of the Immersion Programmes ("students’ contribution"). The students' contribution for the 2025/26 academic year is under review and subject to confirmation.
