Student Development

CityU has adopted an outcome-based approach in teaching and learning, which is a student-centered approach. We have been implementing this across our programmes and courses, and you could find more information on our dedicated OBTL website.

Under this program, our alumni, members of the Society of Registered Financial Planners (HKRFP) and other professionals will serve as professional mentors. Mentors and students may interact through casual gatherings such as afternoon tea, seminars and visits to companies, etc. Find out more.

Many students like to join the exchange programmes offered by the College of Business, for 1 or 2 semesters. Students have become more mature and independent, as well as confident to work with others and have improved language skills. We provide subsidies to outstanding students.

Apart from the credit-bearing course FB3800 Business Practice Internship offered by the College of Business, students have opportunities to take part in the Departmental Internship Programme organized by the External Affairs Unit as well. We liaise with local, mainland and overseas companies that offer internships and students may apply for job placements during term time (part-time placements) and school breaks (full-time summer and winter internships).

Language immersion programmes have been organised during the summer breaks for students to improve their language skills. The College of Business offers Study/Work Abroad summer programmes as well.

The Department was established to educate students in the concepts and applications of economics and finance. We adopt and adapt state-of-the-art technologies to enhance our student’s learning experience. We are the first university to set up a simulated trading room in Hong Kong, and are pioneers in establishing an experimental economics laboratory. Both facilities give students some invaluable experience in “real world” economics. Find out more.
