Q1. What is the arrangement for Teaching Practicum (TP)?

For Full-time programmes
Students are required to complete a 10-week TP within the study period. Students (except English majors) will have two blocks of TP and each block lasts for five weeks (including preparation week). English majors will have one block of TP in the second term. Each student will be assigned to a TP school by the Faculty. Experienced teachers in TP schools will be invited to act as Mentors to provide students with guidance and supervision within the entire TP period.

For Part-time programmes
Teaching Mode: Students will carry out TP at their serving schools throughout the two years of study. If a teaching post is not secured during their study, students may be required to apply for deferred admission or suspension of studies. Students are required to look for a TP school by themselves.

Non-teaching Mode: Students should complete 2 blocks of 4-5 consecutive weeks of TP within 2 years, and complete the first block in their first year of study. TP schools will be arranged by the Office of School Partnership and Community Engagement and students should make themselves available for the assigned TP period.
