Bonus Features

Because Hong Kong aims to become a world logistics hub (and with the rapid development of e-business), we have extended the curriculum to the area of logistics and supply chain management. We have established strategic partnerships with two leading international software companies, SAS Institute Inc and SAP AG. These firms donated over US$1.1 million worth of software supplies to the Department. Additionally, we have established two laboratories (the e-Logistics Laboratory and the Knowledge Discovery Centre), which are equipped with state-of-the-art computer hardware and software.

Departmental exchange programmes have been established with Upper Austria University of Applied Sciences, University of British Columbia and University of Arkansas at Little Rock to broaden students' international horizon and enhance their communication skills. All three universities have a strong focus in international logistics and supply chain management.
The Department has a long tradition of striving for high-quality research, high-quality teaching and a friendly environment in which students can learn, enjoy and share. We are proud that we have been recently named as one of CityU's best teaching departments.
