To enhance students' competitive edge, the Department and the College arrange professional internships for students. In 2010-11, about 100 or over 50% of our Year 2 students undertook internship placements with prestigious employers in Hong Kong, Singapore, and USA. In one to five month internship periods, students can apply the theories and knowledge they have learned to solve real-life business issues related to auditing and assurance, tax and advisory services. Internships are valuable opportunities for students to practice and polish their professional competence and enhance their communication and interpersonal skills through interacting with businesspeople in various industries. All of these aim at facilitating students’ transition into graduate level professionals who bring added values to their future employers, the accountancy profession and the community as a whole
We fully support the career development of our students by equipping them with the knowledge, skills and values needed in preparation for the challenges and opportunities in the highly completive job market. In combination with the Career and Internship Office, the Department makes a substantial effort to provide the best available resources and expertise, such as training in interpersonal and communication skills, resume consulting and review services, interview techniques and mock interview workshops, industry and career seminars, and many other networking opportunities with business elites. We even partner with recruiters, providing students with valuable graduate career opportunities.
