Overview

Key Features

The Language Studies program from Hong Kong Baptist University considers the needs for linguistic sophistication with regard to Chinese and English language issues for the following professions in particular: language teachers, administrators and language officers, instructors in tertiary and adult/continuing education, translators, and media specialists.

In order to fulfill the graduation requirements, students of the programme are required to take five core courses and either (i) two electives and a dissertation, or (ii) four electives (without a dissertation). We will conduct classes on weekday evenings and Saturdays, so that both part-time and full-time students can attend. We may offer a few courses in the daytime so that full-time students can be given more choices of elective courses.

The programme is designed with built-in flexibility. Students may choose to do: (i) part-time study over a normal period of two academic years or (ii) full-time study over a normal period of one year. With the approval of the Programme Director, students can request to extend their study period to a maximum of three part-time years.
