“Global Business community has given me great opportunities to step out of my comfort zone and unleash my full potential”

My university life has been full of excitement and fruitful experience. The Global Business community has given me great opportunities to step out of my comfort zone and unleash my full potential.

Academics & International Case Competitions
The GBU curriculum has given me a lot of opportunities to do case analyses and presentations. I had numerous chances to undergo many training sessions to hone my problem-solving and presentation skills. Equipped with both hard and soft skills, I participated in the CGMA Global Business Challenge and won the Champion of Hong Kong and the second runner-up of North Asia. All of these experiences get me ready for any future challenges.  [ More ]

“Studying Global Business at CityU has shown me the way towards my dreams”

Global business is the reason I left home and live abroad. I chose Hong Kong because it is the world's financial hub and CityU is one of the youngest and most international universities. When I first arrived, I was overwhelmed by the new city; after all, Hong Kong is one of the most crowded and densest cities. However, after one year, I'm more reassured of my decision than ever. The greatest passion in my life is intercultural integration, and the GBU programme offers just what I needed. A diverse class of like-minded individuals with big goals and aspirations, all under one roof. The best thing about GBU is undoubtedly the classmates, sharing meals with them after lectures never fails to lift my spirits. We also have a big budget to support in-class activities, company visits, field trips and study tours; and the possibility of exchange in some of the best universities. Studying Global Business at CityU has shown me the way towards my dreams and make them even brighter.

“My Internship Experience at BASF”

The Global Business programme at City University of Hong Kong offers students wide exposure to a range of different opportunities and industries. It also encourages students to develop a global mindset, think strategically and contribute to companies doing business internationally. Due to the broad scope and global nature of this programme, as well as minoring in Applied Psychology, I quickly discovered my interest in global companies that are highly diversified and think globally. As a result, I applied to be a Human Resources intern at BASF, a Fortune 500 German multinational chemical company.

During my time at BASF, I was given endless opportunities for learning and development, in
addition to networking and community integration events. In the Human Resources division, I gained exposure into the core operational functions of a Fortune 500 company. Furthermore, I also had the opportunity to gain insight and experience into the implementation of HR projects and related events. Although I was just an intern, the tasks and responsibilities I was given reflected fulltime positions, which not only taught me to be more independent and proactive, but also instilled a feeling of belonging. As a global, multinational company, BASF’s commitment to diversity really
shone as I was given the opportunity to interact with all types of people.

Considering the Global Business programme itself is composed of a multitude of nationalities, offers global exposure through networking and exchanges, as well as having a global curriculum, I think it’s suffice to say that the programme equipped me with the skills and knowledge necessary for all of my endeavours. I am truly grateful to be part of the Global Business and BASF community, and I look forward to what the future has in store for me!
