About the Programme
China Business and Economics Programme (May 2018) is supported by the Ministry of Education of Mainland China. It is a credit-bearing study programme open to all FBE students. The programme aims to enhance students’ understanding of China business and economy by providing first-hand experience through living and learning in Shanghai.
Participants will enroll in a 6-credit HKU course as taught by a HKU lecturer. Aside from formal lectures which will be conducted in Fudan University, the programme includes site visits to leading enterprises of industries such as finance, tourism, manufacturing, IT and creative industries. There will also be guest talks by alumni, scholars and business leaders. Similar as other HKU courses, students are required to complete the course work as assigned by the lecturer, group projects, presentations and final examination in order to receive a grade as well as credits.
