Cantonese Courses for School of Chinese M.A. Students 2024/25

Students experience the unique blend of Eastern and Western cultures in Hong Kong, a city that embraces liangwensanyu (兩文三語, Biliteracy and Trilingualism). As the dominant and co-official language of Hong Kong and Macau, Cantonese is widely spoken among Guangdong province and Overseas Chinese and is an essential aspect of cultural identity for native speakers. For those studying or working in Hong Kong, learning Cantonese will greatly enhance their daily life and cultural experiences.

The School of Chinese is offering three Master of Arts (MA) programmes in Chinese Language and Literature, Chinese Historical Studies, and Translation. In the 2024/25 academic year, over 300 local and non-local students will begin their journey at our school at HKU. To enrich students' learning experiences and strengthen community ties and career opportunities, the Chinese Language Centre will offer customized Cantonese group classes for our MA students, sponsored by our MA programmes.

Courses will run from September to December 2024, with 2-4 hours of class per week depending on the schedule. Students must pay the full course fee upfront (HKD1800), but upon satisfactory attendance and assessment, HKD1440 (~80%) of the fee will be refunded. Those who meet attendance and assessment criteria will receive a completion certificate. Seats are limited and will be offered on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Applications are open now until 4:00p.m. Monday, 12 August 2024. Successful applicants will receive an email payment notification. Upon successful payment, students will be informed of the lesson venue and other details through email.
