In the era of globalization, business opportunities are inevitably increasing around the world. The School is committed to preparing students for the challenges in the international business environment. In view of this, a Global Immersion Programme will be held to provide students with opportunities to study and travel abroad, be exposed to the language of global business, engage with global issues and eventually become empowered global citizens. This programme is compulsory.
Being able to work effectively with foreigners and foreign organisations has become a very important contributor to career success in the internationalised economy. The Undergraduate Global Immersion Programme (UG-GIP) is designed to support B&A students in developing their potential in the internationalised environment. UG-GIP aims to instill in students a deeper understanding of a foreign culture and its society and environment, and expose students to a broader overview and understanding of international business.
For senior year entry students, UG-GIP comprises two non-credit bearing courses: BUS B083F (Year 3)*, and BUS B084F (Year 4). These courses are designed to enhance students' intercultural awareness and communication skills and help students to develop a global mindset. Details can be found here.
*BUS B083F includes a study tour. Students are responsible for incidental expenses such as airfare and accommodation.
Graduates can seek employment as professional accountants, or pursue careers in related fields such as auditing, taxation and business advisory services.
Opportunities are available for the graduates of this programme to pursue postgraduate studies in Hong Kong and abroad. Some students will continue to study for a Postgraduate Diploma or master’s degree in accounting, while others may choose to study further in the fields of business administration, corporate governance, or management.
The programme is accredited by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (HKICPA), the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), the Association of International Accountants (AIA), CPA Australia, and the Taxation Institute of Hong Kong (TIHK). The university is also recognised as an ICAEW Partner in Learning, working with ICAEW in the professional development of students. Graduates are eligible to register with HKICPA’s Qualification Programme, claim maximum exemptions from examinations of ACCA, AIA and CPA Australia, and exemptions of three papers from the Certified Tax Adviser (CTA) Qualifying Examination.
