Learning and Professional Development Journey

(Illustrative diagram. Refer to our Programme Website for official information.)

As Programme Leader for BSc(AI&EdTech), I am committed to providing a comprehensive, four-year, professionally and vocationally-oriented learning experience that fosters student growth. This support extends from enrolment through graduation and beyond, encompassing their transition into society and diverse career paths, including postgraduate studies, employment, or entrepreneurship, ultimately shaping them into successful AI and EdTech professionals.

Central to our approach is the principle of integrating theoretical knowledge with practical application—a unity of knowledge and action. Our curriculum employs a “theory-application-practice” model designed to embody this principle. Years one and two build a strong theoretical foundation with core major courses, language enhancement, and general education. Years three and four focus on advanced studies, integrating core major courses with specialised electives, allowing for in-depth study in chosen areas. However, theoretical knowledge is not an end in itself; practical experience is crucial. A mandatory internship follows year three, providing direct application of learned skills, and year four culminates in a final-year project—a research project or a hands-on capstone project—directly bridging the gap between academic learning and real-world application.

Beyond the curriculum, we provide multifaceted support reinforcing this unity of knowledge and action. Regular industry talks translate theoretical understanding into practical career strategies. Active curriculum review by industry professionals ensures relevance and practical application of knowledge. Soft skills training equips students to effectively apply their knowledge in professional settings. Experiential learning opportunities provide real-world context and application of theoretical learning. Robust exchange programmes (in-person and virtual) foster multicultural perspectives and cross-cultural competency—essential for AI and EdTech professionals. We also offer entrepreneurship opportunities, encouraging students to translate their knowledge into innovative action. Comprehensive career support services further assist students in applying their acquired knowledge and skills to achieve their career goals.

My mission is to create a thriving learning environment that empowers students to reach their full potential, progressively developing professional knowledge and skills, and seamlessly integrating theory with practice. Long-term goals include a strong alumni network fostering mutual support, resource sharing, and successful employment and social integration. Regular communication with students, including feedback gathered through questionnaires and interviews (in collaboration with academic advisors), allows for personalised support. While resource constraints exist, we are dedicated to providing the best possible learning experience, firmly grounded in the principle of integrating knowledge and action.
