The programme may also require students to participate in other non-local learning experience for completion of the programme. While the visits are subsidised, students are required to contribute part of the estimated cost of the visits ("students’ contribution"), whereas any personal entertainment, meals expenses, travel document fee and personal insurance costs shall be at students’ own expense. The estimated cost of the visits and students’ contribution for students admitted to the coming cohort is yet to be available due to a variety of factors such as inflation of cost of the visits, trip duration, traveling expenses, the exchange rate, etc.

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").
Field Experience
Field experience (FE) is a core domain in both the pre-service and in-service teacher education programmes at the Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK) which aims to support students to develop the graduate attributes of the University, i.e., Professional Excellence, Ethical Responsibilities and Innovation (PEER &I), and to nurture them to be outstanding and caring educators and professionals who contribute constructively to sustainable social and economic development in Hong Kong and beyond.

Career Prospects/Professional Recognition
In addition to the education sector, graduates of the programme can engage in Chinese culture and creative curation, advertising, media, journalism, publishing, tourism, arts management, museum work, and international trade. Graduates will possess the necessary skills to excel in these areas, equipped with a solid foundation in Chinese language and culture, as well as digital literacy skills tailored for related jobs.
Note: Students admitted into this programme are normally assigned a focus of study (i.e. primary or secondary level) by the end of their first year of study. The focus of study will be reflected in the arrangements for their Field Experience and adopted for the purpose of application for Registered Teacher in Hong Kong upon graduation. This programme is designed to provide students with the disciplinary and professional competency to teach in both primary and secondary schools. However, recognition of Registered Teacher in primary or secondary schools in Hong Kong is subject to the decision of the Education Bureau (EDB). Graduates of this programme are required to approach the Teacher Registration Team of the EDB to submit applications directly and all applications will be independently assessed by the EDB.
