Business School in partnership with SCOPE provides
a high quality learning experience on an international

Outstanding Hong
Kong Graduates
Two of our HK graduates from the 2003 cohort were awarded
First Honours and one of them was awarded with "Institute
of Directors' Prize" – the best business student
of the year. The Prize is sponsored by Institute of Directors,
which is a UK-based worldwide association with membership
spanning the whole spectrum of business leadership. It
is a worldwide competition for which all students of this
programme and from the UK and other parts of the world
are eligible. To have one of our HK graduates won this
worldwide competition was indeed an honour for our programme
and also a proof of our HK student performance comparable
to the international standard. |

Experience |
| "The programme
focuses on current market environments and modules and
topics are designed in a practical manner. The knowledge
acquired can be applied to my daily work and helps me
to understand my business operation in depth.
Sufficient learning material, convenient online support
and facilities provide an excellent study environment
to the students. Newly added real-time video conferencing
service with UK based tutors greatly removes the communication
barrier."

is indeed able to enhance my strategic thinking as well
as strengthen my overall techniques in handling daily
work in management. All professional lecturers come from
the UK, which ensures a high standard." Mandy

| "A knowledge
economy emphasises education. As a working student,
we acquire knowledge not only for academic purposes
but also for practical needs. Studying this programme
is an edification process to refresh and broaden our
minds and also a key to turning ourselves to think an
ingenious way. As time goes by and we are going to graduate,
we will miss our lecturers for their friendliness and
valuable sharing. Learning is demanding. However, if
you make up your mind for it, you will definitely be
on the road to success."
