Welcome to the College of Business.
It is with great pleasure that I extend a warm welcome to all of you. As the Dean of the College of Business, I am honoured to lead a community of dedicated individuals who are committed to excellence in education, research, and professional development.
The College of Business (CB) has ranked consistently as a world top-50 Business School and is accredited by both AACSB and EQUIS. We conduct research that addresses real-world economic issues and business problems, creating impacts on the business profession and the wider community. We encourage our faculty members, researchers and students to embrace this ethos and seek innovative ways to make a difference.
On the teaching and learning side, CB offers comprehensive programmes at all levels including BBA/BSc, MBA, MA, MSc, DBA, and PhD, and is the largest business school in Hong Kong in terms of undergraduate student enrolment. We have constantly improved and innovated our programme curricula, successfully introducing a large-scale BBA double-major. We collaborate with other colleges and have developed double-degree programmes to train interdisciplinary talents, such as BEng in Environmental Science and Engineering, and BBA in Finance. We also work beyond established boundaries, and have introduced programmes such as the EMBA+MPA with Tsinghua University and a DBA jointly with Fudan University. We will continue to forge strategic collaborations with world-class universities around the globe.
Leveraging on CityU’s Academy of Innovation and HK Tech 300, CB seeks to train individuals with innovative and entrepreneurial mindsets who will bring in new ideas and create value in the market. We will collaborate with business corporations and other academic institutions to promote sustainable practices and leadership, and to address environmental, social and economic challenges in the world.
Diversity is a core value that we cherish at CB. It extends beyond gender, ethnicity and social class, encouraging a richness of ideas, perspectives, and experiences. We continue to attract talented faculty and students from beyond Hong Kong and Mainland China, further enriching our community.
Aspiring to be a globally-oriented, innovative business school, CB is home to committed business faculty, talented researchers and future business leaders and professionals. Let us seize this opportunity to collaborate, innovate, and inspire one another as we shape the future of business education and research.
