As part of the department's concern with graduate career development, a series of internship programmes has been organised for students to experience the operation mode of the accounting field before graduation.

The internship programmes are definite valuable opportunities to students, as students get to acquire practical working experience before graduation.

Companies offering internship placement to our students include the biggest four accounting companies in the industry namely Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, Ernst and Young, KPMG, PricewaterhouseCoopers; and several multi-national corporations and local SMEs.

Apart from academic and career development, the department also emphasises whole person development of our students. Listed below are the schemes and programmes that the department offers to our students.
