"Here in CityU, I have hosted various grand events such as Hong Kong International Innovation and Entrepreneurship Exhibition, CityU Employers Luncheon and the Graduation Ceremony. I have also participated in TEDxCityU Hong Kong and CityU Model United Nations. I have the privilege to travel to New York to attend the WFUNA Model United Nations Conference at the headquarters of United Nations. There I met a lot of amazing people. Most importantly, I realized the importance of communication.

Being a marketing student, I always study how we can communicate with people more effectively. The opportunities and exposures I have here help me to prepare myself as a leader for further society."

"Being a student of Marketing really helped in a lot. There was a lot of project training and I have joined a lot of competitions, so I learned how to work with people and communicate with different people. These soft skills are still applied in my job every day as I am working with different people on different flight. In long term, I hope to become a captain for Cathay Pacific, not only having control of the airplane, but also ensuring the whole team working happily and safely."

"I am interested in studying marketing as I think a marketing degree can open many doors for me in my future career. During the years at marketing department, I have learnt not only the knowledge on books, but also the sense of dealing with others. Last summer, I was glad to be working with a group of energetic and intelligent marketing students for our company consultancy project. With the guidance of our professors and company management, we were finally awarded the champion award, which was one of the best moments in my university life!"


Allison Lin
BBA MarketingOpen

"I am a girl who doesn't like to stick in the same thing for a long period of time. I found marketing fits me so much as it is a job or a course that never stop with its "ing". Here you can learn things totally different from year to year as you must catch up the market trend when you are generating new ideas. With different competitions and marketing consultancy project, it allows me, a marketing student to practise what I've learnt instead of having lots of theories in mind but have no idea how to use it out. It's glad to be a marketing student in CityU. "

"Being a marketer allow people to reach and communicate with various audiences. It's meaningful that we learn to be tactful by gaining insight into specific personality types and taking different approaches to engage them. Studying marketing also requires me to keep abreast of the latest trends and information in the community or even around the globe, which probably shape me into an interesting person who is more curious in things that's going on around me."


Kalam Lau
BBA MarketingOpen

"Tom Peters, an American writer on business management practices, once said, "Customers are the sources of creativity in marketing". But for me, creativity in a marketing is what beyond customers' imagination and that's how a product become a best-seller. Every single one of us are exposed to marketing in all areas of our lives, whether it be at the supermarket, at work or in our leisure. It is all around us, whether we are aware of it or not. It has developed from a purely creative practice into a science, and both these aspects of the subject fascinate me. Coming up an idea to intrigue people's interest is what first drew me to the subject."
