Student & Alumni Sharing

I always cherish how the exchange programme expanded my horizons. The School provided us with comprehensive and diversified study abroad options. The exchange programme has imparted lessons that will last a lifetime for enhancing my interpersonal skills and global vision. Making friends from around the world, immersing myself in new study styles, and exploring different parts of the world encouraged me to participate in an exchange programme again! 

Additionally, the School offers a range of community initiatives such as the School of Business Student Ambassador Scheme. These communities did not only expand my network locally and globally but also helped me to discover my own possibilities. 

Most importantly, speaking about my career ambitions, the School provided numerous internship opportunities and resources such as the BUhub, CV consultations, and networking sessions. You can pave your own career path after the completion of four-year study journey! Keep yourself open-minded and learn as much as you can!

This experience inspired me to further pursue a career in FinTech and Financial Analytics. 

Thanks to the internship exposure I gained in Nanjing during my time at HKBU, I was offered a position at HSBC in its Commercial Banking division in Shenzhen, marking the first step in my career path. 

It is crucial for us to seize every opportunity for exposure at the School. Furthermore, we should also strive to formulate our career paths early to be well-prepared.

I was allowed to immerse myself in diverse business disciplines before specialising in my chosen fields of study. 

The flexibility to explore double concentrations and minor programmes was a game-changer that fueled my passion for delving into various areas of interest. HKBU's vibrant environment not only nurtured my academic growth but also presented me with numerous opportunities to engage in business competitions and internships. One standout experience was my role as a Data Scientist Intern at GOGOX, where I honed my data science and engineering skills in a real-world setting.  

Looking back two years after my graduation, I am struck by how profoundly my time in the BBA programme has influenced my journey. The skills and knowledge I gained during my university years continue to guide me as I navigate the professional landscape.

I’m so grateful and happy for the opportunity to pursue a master's degree in Data Analytics and Business Economics at the HKBU School of Business. This year was so exciting, full of events and challenging at the same time. The curriculum of MScDABE is well-structured. It equipped me with detailed data analytics knowledge with a world-beating business focus.

The School provides immense support for the students, ranging from moving and settling down in Hong Kong to preparing a CV and finding a job here. I have attended lots of workshops, seminars and company visits throughout my academic year that broadened my horizons and gave me an opportunity to meet people from diverse backgrounds.

What is more, I was very lucky to go to Budapest for a summer exchange study, where I’m currently studying International Logistics, Marketing and Self-Leadership. My study at the School was not only a great experience but a lifetime opportunity which I’ll always cherish.

I have always wanted to continue studying applied economics at post-graduate level. The IPS of the HKBU School of Business has made my dream possible, and I am very grateful to be awarded the scholarship. I have made amazing international friends, joined the Toastmasters Club to polish my public speaking, and expanded my network through alumni events and workshops arranged by the School. One of the best things about doing an MSc in Applied Economics at HKBU is that the professors are very approachable and always willing to answer students’ questions. After completing my studies, I have become more curious and more critical in approaching economics-related issues. Thanks to the education I have received at the School of Business, I have become a self-motivated life-long learner.

Doing my master’s degree with the HKBU School of Business is the best decision of my life. Within just a year, I have gained so much knowledge and industry experience from various industry practitioners and experienced lecturers. Without their help, patience and encouragement, especially towards a student like me, who does not have a strong background in coding and statistics, I would not have been able to acquire the hard skills and land myself a full-time job immediately after completing the master’s degree. I am truly thankful for the opportunity that the School has given me.

Hong Kong is a truly unique place, a sensory overload paradise full of character and complexity, constantly evolving and adapting. After studying, working, having my own company but being forced to abandon the city during the pandemic, the opportunity to return and sharpen my skills and knowledge at HKBU, with the MSc in Finance (FinTech and Financial Analytics), was an invaluable one that I am extremely grateful for.

With this program, I had the chance of participating in countless competitions which leveled up my abilities, winning some in the process like the SlowMist Cybersecurity Award, I learned from professors who actually work in their respective fields and are true experts at them, had the privilege of being the president of The Hive, the postgraduate international club, between many other memorable experiences.

Studying at the HKBU School of Business has been an enriching and unforgettable experience that left me confident and prepared for my next endeavors. Looking back, I wouldn’t have done it any differently.

What I enjoyed the most about the MScBM Programme is all the amazing professors and lecturers I have met. They have all been really approachable, talented, experienced and reality-focused. They also value the knowledge of their students and are always open to work with us and learn from us too! Apart from gaining an overview of all aspects of business, I also learned that there is no right or wrong. 

Business can be limitless and without boundaries. The School’s IPS Scholarship has allowed me to meet amazing friends and have one of the best years of my life. I will forever be grateful to the School of Business and HKBU for offering me this opportunity of growing.

The HKBU School of Business was a great place to learn, in all honesty! I was astounded at how kind and diverse the School community was when I first arrived. Never before had I felt so at home and welcomed at a university. I was able to form lifelong friendships on campus, hone my communication skills, and network with people from various cultural backgrounds, all of these were incredibly beneficial. 

I gained a lot more than simply academic knowledge from my master's degree at the School of Business. Through many initiatives and group activities, I honed my leadership skills, and accustomed myself to working with individuals from different backgrounds. 

Overall, I heartily endorse the HKBU School of Business. For individuals who want to pursue a degree with a thorough and modern curriculum, it's a great option. It is an honor for me to be a member of this community, and I am grateful for the wonderful assistance provided by the School.
