Field Camp

The Department has made the Annual Field Camp mandatory. Every student, including those in both the Major and the China Studies programmes, must fulfill the Field Camp requirement before they can graduate. The Field Camp is conducted during the second semester of the third year. This 6-9 day excursion has a variety of taken students to locations outside Hong Kong and offers an invaluable learning experience. In addition to the field camp, local and regional field trips are organized for many subjects offered by the Department. Experiences have shown that field camps and subject-related fieldwork activities encourage close interactions and friendly relationships between students and staff in a non-classroom setting. Apart from the pedagogical importance of fieldwork, it helps to strengthen student-staff relationships and interactions.
