Dear Students,
PROPOSED HONG KONG INSTITUTE OF VOCATIONAL EDUCATION (HKIVE) & ITE STUDENT EXCHANGE PROGRAM
We are planning for a Student Exchange programme with HKIVE whereby ITE students would spend one semester studying in HKIVE Tsing Yi campus and taking HKIVE examinations. The examination results would be recognised as part of ITE examination system.
The period of students exchange would be about four months, from 23 Sep 06 to 31 Jan 07. Instead of studying Logistics core module Cargo Documentation & Practices (CDN), Business Communications (BCM) and one elective in Singapore, it is proposed that they will do the equivalent of four Higher Diploma Modules in HKIVE Tsing Yi.
To replace CDN module, it is proposed that two logistics related Higher Diploma Modules, namely International Trade Logistics and Managing Air Cargo Logistics, be studied. The values of HKIVE modules are the in-depth content and higher level coverage, giving value-add to our students’ knowledge in logistics. The 6 credit units earned in HKIVE should be recognised as credits earned for our own CDN module.I
t is proposed that two HK electives be undertaken to cover the ITE elective, namely China Business Studies and Marketing. China Business Studies module develops students’ awareness and insight into Pearl River Delta business environment and to understand current business issues. Marketing module will provide students with the basic understanding of the principles and concepts of marketing. This is to prepare them for analysis of market situations / environment in their future career.
For the balance BCM core module, students will be expected to undertake this module via e-learning in eTutor when they are in HK. Upon their return to Singapore in Feb 2007, they will complete the remaining 40% of the course contents and sit for Mar 07 ITE examinations.
Estimated cost would be $6100 per student, covering return airfare, accommodation and meals. After college subsidy, it is estimated that each student would have to pay $3,200. Efforts are currently being made to negotiate for better rates and higher level of subsidies.
Students with minimum 3.5 GPA (based on last two semesters), good CCA and conduct are invited to apply for this programme. Two Logistics students would be selected to participate in this pioneer run.
Interested applicants kindly inform your CA
Sincerely
