| The Diploma in Chinese Studies (CHS) has strong collaborations with local and overseas institutions. All CHS students spend a semester studying in a renown Chinese university such as Zhejiang University City College (ZUCC) or Huazhong Normal University (HNU). Those on the teaching track will then proceed to complete their CHS Diploma in their last semester at the Singapore's National Institute of Education in Singapore. Meanwhile, the media track students will be attached to various established media companies for their internships or project work. Media companies which our CHS media students were attached to include SPH Chinese Newspapers Division, MediaCorp, etc. Extracts from teaching track students sharing their experience at NIE:-
| "Cultivating Self and Others - The CHS course has helped me to think in depth and become a well-balanced person. To be a competent teacher, one has to cultivate self and others. For self, we have to constantly upgrade ourselves and improve on our Chinese standard, so as to be a wise and knowledgeable teacher. We should also try to create our own teaching techniques and methodologies so as to build a bridge between us and the students for effective learning." - From Dexing, 2008 final year CHS student (Teaching Track).
内外双修，真知实学 - 德兴的“双修秘笈”
"在教育学院的学习让我深刻地体验到，要当一名称职的教师是需要‘内外双修’的。对内，我们要提升自己的华文水平，当一名有真知实学的教师。对外，我们除了要学习参考别人的教学技巧以外，还应该尝试创立自己的教学技巧和方法，为自己和学生之间建立起一座有效的学习桥梁。”- 德兴, 2008 年, 第三年中文系华文教学专业学生. | 
| "Intensive & Enriching Course - The lecturers often share their teaching experiences by telling us some of the everyday happenings in the campus. These interesting and humorous stories are great sources of inspiration to the students. We also learnt new and creative methods of teaching from the lecturers." - From Cuiyan, 2008 final year CHS student (Teaching Track).
"热忱、忙碌与充实 - 教育学院的老师常常通过校园故事，分享教学经验。这些有趣的故事、幽默的讲述，积极的引导，给我们带来很大的启发。我们也从老师身上获取不少新颖的创意教。" - 翠燕, 2008 年, 第三年中文系华文教学专业学生.
我最喜爱写教案，
更喜欢亲自做教具陪伴，
虽然每次都忙得很晚，
但换来的却是无比的满足感。- 翠燕的打油诗
