The pursuit of postgraduate studies is an effective means for helping professionals advance and enrich their professional knowledge and competence. Our Department has offered the Master of Arts in Family Counselling and Family Education (MAFCFE) Programme (Part-time) since 2002. Many enthusiastic responses from students and favourable feedback from external examiners have been received.
This Programme has the following characteristics. First, its students come from different helping professions, and are namely social workers, guidance teachers, student counsellors, pastors, nurses, speech therapists and occupational therapists. The multidisciplinary mix of the students provides an excellent learning opportunity for them to widen their academic and professional scope.
Second, this Programme puts an emphasis on helping students to integrate theoretical concepts with practice; the first year curriculum focuses on the acquisition of foundation theories and knowledge related to family education and family counselling and the second year curriculum focuses on applying the acquired knowledge to different clienteles (e.g. families with adolescents at risk, families suffering from mental disorders) in different social service settings (e.g. school, family services, hospitals and residential service).
Third, this Programme is taught by a group of high calibre teaching staff with different areas of expertise in family education and family counselling. Both dedicated and conscientious, the faculty members use different teaching methods, including lectures, experiential learning, small group discussions, live demonstrations, clinical observations, simulated role-plays and various presentations to facilitate the students' learning.
Fourth, through provision of scholarships, students are encouraged to present their master projects in international, national and local conferences and participate in overseas study tours and international Summer Institute (e.g., the 7th Summer University in Social Work in Lausanne, Switzerland in July 2016).
