Notes:
(1) Classes will be held in Tai Po Campus and Tseung Kwan O Study Centre / North Point Study Centre / Sports Centre / Kowloon Tong Satellite Study Centre as decided by the University.
(2) Students admitted into this programme are required to visit the Greater Bay Area (GBA) and/or other parts of Mainland China. 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.
Internship
The Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Heritage Education and Arts Management programme emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach and integrates professional expertise across four pillars: Cultural and Heritage Education, Museum Education, Arts Administration and Management, and Technology-enhanced Education. Besides coursework, students are required to complete a total of 200 hours of internship at a heritage or arts-related agency over approximately 6 to 8 weeks in the summer (July to August). The internship experience will provide students with real-world working experience, preparing them for a future career in heritage education and arts management.
