Overseas Exposure

To nurture graduates who will have the confidence to enter an international and culturally diverse workplace, internationalization has been a priority for the College. We have over 150 exchange partner universities, providing over 700 exchange opportunities for our business students.

Half of our BBA students embark on Student Exchange, various Summer Study and Work Abroad programmes. For the latter, students will participate in English immersion course, volunteer work, homestay and cultural activities in India, the Philippines, New Zealand, U.K. or the U.S.A.

Internship

The College-based internship programme is designed to provide students with real life working experience in local and overseas contexts for at least 6 weeks in the summer. With placements in international business, banking, financial services, insurance, accountancy firms, etc., students are expected to gain an in-depth and practical understanding of business operations and the professional contexts.

In addition, the six departments of the College offer internship opportunities for students to acquire first-hand experiences in the business world before graduation. Students can apply for either part-time or full-time job placements in local, mainland and overseas companies.

Young Scholars Programme

“Nurtures outstanding students to become future leaders in the world.”

To help students become outstanding future leaders in the region/world, we have launched the Young Scholars Programme for BBA students:

• overseas exposure during semester breaks, including study trips to renowned companies and universities;
• internship placements in multi-national companies to be arranged locally or overseas;
• networking with top business students admitted locally and overseas;
• professional mentorship provided by professors and professional practitioners;
• cultivation of social responsibility through community services and voluntary work.
