China Studies, School of Modern Languages and Cultures HKU

This field trip course supplements the programme’s home-campus based curriculum by enhancing students’ experiential knowledge of various parts of mainland China. Each field study course will generally be structured to include study and residence in one urban area and an adjoining rural area to show the symbiotic relationship between “city” and “countryside.” Students participating in field study courses must attend preparatory seminars to learn about the sites they are visiting and the skills they need to perform their instructor-guided independent research, be fully engaged in all the activities that they undertake during their 7-10 days field study, and then present their research in oral and written forms after they return to HKU.
