Why Study BBA Information Management? BBA Information Management (IFMG) nurtures students to become smart business professionals.

IFMG IS Smart Double Major  

Our students have great flexibilities to complete a double major degree in Information Management and in Accounting, Finance or Marketing. Local core industries, such as financial services, professional services, logistics and trading services, are being transformed by big data and artificial intelligence (AI). Our graduates have outstanding opportunities to play a major role in this digital transformation process.

IFMG IS Smart Innovation

Our students gain the knowledge and skills to apply modern information systems (e.g., AI, big data and cloud services) to business innovations. They can participate in a one-week Smart Business Study Tour to Stanford University and visit AAAF companies (Apple, Amazon, Alphabet and Facebook) in Silicon Valley, or join a one-month Smart Business Project Tour for visits and work experience in FinTech and/or BAT companies (Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent) closer to home.

IFMG IS Smart Business

Our students gain a business mindset from exposure to new IS business strategies and Internet business models. They will gain the knowledge and skills to analyse high-growth technology companies and make wise investment decisions. They will also gain good communication and project management skills that will qualify them for project management jobs in multinational companies.

IFMG IS Smart Choice  

Our students have opportunities to conduct undergraduate research or consulting projects with faculty members in the largest IS department in Hong Kong and one of the best IS department in the world for research productivity [1]. The Department provides Smart Business scholarships to support our undergraduate students in regional and international business competitions. Our students make business smart with information systems.

IFMG IS Smart Future

Our graduates begin their careers as business analysts, data scientists, IT auditors, systems analysts and programmers in global banks, consulting and technology firms, such as HSBC, BOC, PWC, Apple, Alibaba, Facebook, Google and IBM.

In 2018, 99% of our graduates were hired immediately after graduation and 1% went overseas for further studies. The highest, average and lowest monthly salaries of BBA Information Management graduates were HK$24K, HK$18K and HK$13K, respectively.
