Learning Experience

“The professors offered us industry and research insights and helped us look at contemporary issues concerning China business and economics. During a study tour in the third semester, I gained practical experience and industry insights from the speakers and site visits.”

“After spending more than 7 years in Singapore, I moved to Hong Kong to continue my studies. China business studies provided me with a new perspective on the business world and useful knowledge about China business. The programme was well structured, combining lectures with real-life experience. It strengthened my intellectual foundation and I believe that I will benefit fully from it in the future.”
