Programme Information

Master of Arts in Education for Sustainability [MA(EfS) (CMI)] was launched by The Education University of Hong Kong under the Department of Science and Environmental Studies. This programme employs empirical research and field studies to introduce students to sustainable development issues and pedagogical approaches.

Congratulations to Dr LI Liguan, Assistant Professor of the Department of Science and Environmental Studies, on the publication of her article “Environmental impacts, surveillance and mitigation of antimicrobial resistance” in Nature Reviews Earth & Environment (October 2026).

As the first author, Dr Li led this collaborative work with her research team, advancing our understanding of antimicrobial resistance in the environment and supporting global efforts towards sustainable development.

The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK) and Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU) jointly hosted the EdUHK-LMU Joint Symposium—Engaging Learners in Sustainability: Exploring Socio-Scientific and Environmental Challenges on 6 October at EdUHK Tai Po Campus.

Led by Professor WU Shiu Sun Rudolf, Chair Professor of the Department of Science and Environmental Studies at EdUHK, a groundbreaking “Artificial Mussels” technology has been developed to monitor metals and radionuclides in aquatic environments.

Led by Professor WU Shiu Sun Rudolf, Chair Professor of the Department of Science and Environmental Studies at EdUHK, a groundbreaking Next-Generation Dissolved Oxygen (DO) Sensor using replaceable photo-sensing film has been developed.

The “Non-local Alumni-Students Mixer 2026/27” was successfully held on 19 September 2026 at the Tai Po Campus! 🎉

Our alumni shared valuable job-hunting experiences and insights on applying programme knowledge in real-world settings. Students also enjoyed fruitful discussions with alumni and peers over refreshments, gaining greater clarity about their career pathways while expanding their professional networks.

Thank you to all alumni and students for making this gathering a meaningful and inspiring one!

The Department of Science and Environmental Studies is delighted to share that Prof. Ho Wing Kei has been recognised as one of the 2026 Scilit Top Cited Scholars.

This prestigious distinction acknowledges scholars who have demonstrated significant influence in their respective fields through the publication of highly cited research over the past decade. The 2026 Scilit list recognises 10,367 scholars from 100 countries across six continents.

The Poster Presentation organized by the programme team for MA(EfS) students, which was designed to provide a platform for them to showcase their academic engagement and personal experiences with sustainability. 
Students could choose to design a presentation based on their dissertation research (related to sustainability topic), share personal experiences gained during their learning journey, or present content connected to their coursework. 

The visit to Chungking Mansions, offered by SES6026 course, was led by staff from Christian Action, enabling students to explore the building in depth. They not only encountered a wide variety of culturally distinctive items and visited diverse shops but also visited the Center for Refugees and the Diversity Hub. 

The field visit to the sustainable community in Tin Shui Wai engaged students in exploring Hong Kong's approaches to sustainable urban living, directly supporting SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) and SDG 14 (Life Below Water). Guided by the SES6020 instructor, students examined the community's environment, compared private residential estates and public housing, and explored the ecological significance of the adjacent wetland park.

The field trip to the Tzu Chi Environmental Action Center, offered by the SES6021 course, engaged students in exploring waste reduction, recycling, green practices, and community participation. This experiential learning directly supports SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) and SDG 14 (Life Below Water).

The visit to Long Valley Nature Park, offered by the SES6020 course, provided students with a valuable outdoor learning opportunity that directly supports SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) and SDG 14 (Life Below Water).

The Green Hub visit, offered under the SES6021 course, gave students a deeper understanding of Hong Kong's cultural heritage conservation and sustainable living practices. This experiential learning directly supports SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) and SDG 14 (Life Below Water).

From 14 to 17 October 2025, the MA in Education for Sustainability (MA(EfS)) programme at the Department of Science and Environmental Studies, EdUHK, organised a field trip to Starfish Bay. Led by instructors of the SES6022 course, the activity aimed to integrate classroom knowledge with hands-on experience in the natural environment.

The visit to T·PARK as part of the SES6020 course field trips provides students with an in-depth understanding of Hong Kong's advanced sludge treatment technology and modern "waste-to-energy" innovations. This experiential learning directly supports SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) and SDG 14 (Life Below Water).

Congratulations to the scholars from the Department of Science and Environmental Studies (SES) at EdUHK for being recognised in Stanford University’s Top 2% Scientists list! Their research directly advances SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) and SDG 14 (Life Below Water).
