SEE and CB Launch 5-Year Double Degree Programme, Responding to Growing Demand for Green Finance and ESG Professionals

The School of Energy and Environment (SEE) and the College of Business (CB) have teamed up to introduce a new double degree programme in Bachelor of Engineering in Environmental Science and Engineering and Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance. This programme, which is set to commence from the academic year 2024/25, is hosted by the School of Energy and Environment (SEE).

In response to the escalating importance of green finance, carbon emission trading in the financial industry, and the rising demand for professionals skilled in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) matters, this programme has been designed to cater to the growing need for professionals who have a solid understanding of environmental issues and the business acumen to make strategically sound financial decisions. This unique merge of Environmental Science with Finance offers our students a distinctive opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge in both fields, and nurtures graduates with career-readiness in professionals with ESG/sustainability skills.

On 18 July 2023, we celebrated the launch of this double degree programme with a vibrant event attended by Prof. Guohua Chen, Dean of the School of Energy and Environment and Chair Professor of Smart Energy Conversion and Storage, and Professor Jeong-Bon Kim, the then-Dean of the College of Business and Chair Professor of Accountancy.
