In the first two years of the programme, our faculty members and TAs will lead students to explore various regions in mainland China, Hong Kong, or Taiwan, and understand the local culture through in-depth fieldwork, and engage in the local community. The immersion studies component will also allow students to intensively train their language ability in real-life situations, which will benefit them in the job market and their academic career.

On top of the immersion studies courses, there will also be experiential and social enterprise learning courses that introduce students to the Chinese society through practices in various areas, including business, education, non-governmental organizations, etc.

Overall, the immersion studies component aims to prepare students for launching their China-related career after graduation.
