Student Mentoring Scheme
The objectives of the student mentoring scheme are:
- To help incoming students transit smoothly into the curriculum and culture
- To enhance a sense of belonging to our department
- To create a supportive peer-learning environment so that students can effectively achieve their academic and personal goals
In this scheme, incoming students are under the guidance of a senior student for one semester so that new students discover how to get the most out of the curriculum and co-curricular activities offered by the department. Our student mentors are enthusiastic about sharing their personal experiences with new students. Various activities will be organized in this mentoring scheme, typically including an orientation, a small group sharing session, and some social networking activities.
Career Advising Support
The Department of Management provides comprehensive career support for both undergraduate and postgraduate students. Our experienced advisors offer consultations, personalized coaching and interactive workshops to help students navigate the job market, refine their career goals, and develop the essential skills needed to succeed. Whether exploring industry options, crafting job search strategies, or gaining hands-on experience through consulting projects, our students benefit from tailored resources to achieve their professional aspirations in management, consulting, and beyond.
Student Entrepreneurship Project (SEP)
The Student Entrepreneurship Project is a signature initiative of the Department of Management that offers students a unique opportunity to develop essential managerial and entrepreneurial skills through hands-on experience. Open to students from all years, the project challenges participants to collaborate in teams to plan, fund, and operate their own small business ventures - at the Chinese New Year Fair Night Market and in an online environment.
Through this experiential learning journey, students not only apply classroom concepts to real-world scenarios but also cultivate critical skills such as teamwork, problem-solving, resource management, and creativity. SEP empowers students to take ownership of their learning by raising initial capital, making strategic decisions, and navigating the realities of running a business - all within a supportive and dynamic environment.

Apart from MGT Innovation & Entrepreneurship Talk Series, we also invite senior managers and HRM professionals deliver guest talks. Our students receive an understanding of state-of-the-art knowledge from the guest speakers, and they also get a chance to socialize with senior executives in the business field. Through these activities, our students have the opportunity to broaden their horizons and hone their communication skills. Recently, we have organized guest talks.
Company Visit
Visits to local companies are also organized, so students can see how management is applied in a working setting.
