An exciting Mainland learning opportunity is now available for you!

 

China Business and Economics Programme will be organized at Fudan University, Shanghai in virtual format from 9 Oct to 17 Oct 2021 for the Oct 2021 Session, and from 27 Dec to 9 Jan 2022 for the Dec 2021 Session. 

 

 

About the Programme

China Business and Economics Programme is a credit-bearing study programme open to all HKU Business School UG students. You may choose to join either the Oct 2021 Session, which is a 9-day programme or the Dec 2021 Session, which is a 14-day programme. The programme aims to enhance students’ understanding of China business and economics.


Participants will enroll in a 6-credit HKU course – FBEC2002 Field Experience in Chinese Economy: Implications for Global Business. Aside from formal lectures which will be conducted in Fudan University virtually, the programme provides an opportunity for students to learn about the leading enterprises of industries such as finance, tourism, manufacturing, IT and creative industries. Similar as other HKU courses, students are required to complete the course work as assigned by the lecturer, group presentations and examinations in order to receive a grade as well as credits. This course will be counted as free elective, which will be used to fulfill part of the graduation requirements. The credits of the Oct 2021 Session will
be counted for Semester 1 of 2021-22 and the Dec 2021 Session will be counted for Semester 2 of 2021-22. 


We believe that direct experience in the major business center of the fastest growing economy in the world will be beneficial for student learning and career. We strongly encourage students to grab this valuable opportunity to enrich their knowledge and understanding of business in China.
