Practising through Five Major Experiential Education Measures
The college system aims to cultivate students into good citizens with a sense of national identity. The communal life and activities in the colleges also aim to enhance students’ qualities in responsible citizenship, global competitiveness, knowledge integration, teamwork and collaboration, service and leadership, cultural engagement, and a healthy lifestyle. In order to develop students’ competencies in these seven areas, the college education provides five major educational measures, including activity learning, communal meal education, college credit-bearing courses, pastoral care and academic support.
Activity Learning
College education encourages students to participate in the planning and organization of activities, fostering their competence and skills. Students become both participants and organizers of activities, which helps develop their various competencies.
Communal Meal Education
College life emphasizes communal dining and interaction among students, playing an important role in character development and cultivating a sense of community. For more about High Table Dinner or Communal Meal Participation (CMP) subsidy, please visit Communal Meal Education.
College Courses
Colleges offer specific courses designed to enhance students’ college experience and equip them with skills for their future careers. These courses help students integrate their academic knowledge with real-world experiences, promote cross-disciplinary collaboration, and enhance their communication skills. Please visit Registry website or RC Graduation Requirements for further information.
Pastoral Care
College staff and student leaders receive training in mental health first aids and conflict resolution. Most of the academic staff members working in colleges are holders of Global Career Development Facilitator qualification. Additionally, colleges have access to part-time counselors who provide professional counseling services to students. Please visit Trainings for Staff to know more about our staff’s qualifications and expertise.
Academic Support
Each residential college assigns at least one academic staff member as a mentor to guide the residents throughout their university life. Furthermore, each student leader is required to lead at least one group of residents, assisting in providing peer support services. Concurrently, the Residential College Academic Tutorial (RCAT) Programme, which the residential colleges have been actively promoting in recent years, enhances students’ academic skill development across different fields.
