Aims of Major

  • Hong Kong is a global business centre that connects China with the rest of the world. According to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange report, the number of global technology companies listed in Hong Kong has overtaken the number of traditional companies since 2007. An increasing number of companies are using Hong Kong as a platform and a regional hub to support their global businesses development in China and the Asia-Pacific region. This has created a great demand for global technology business professionals trained in Hong Kong to manage such global technology ventures.
  • BBA Global Business Systems Management aims to prepare students to become smart technology business investors and global business managers with competent knowledge and skills of Internet technologies (e.g., social media, mobile apps, big data, artificial intelligence and cloud services), and global business (management, accounting, finance, marketing), with great careers of the future.
  • Our students are required to complete two semester-long exchanges in two of the three regions of the world (Europe/Americas/Asia Pacific) outside of Hong Kong, such as in University College London, Copenhagen Business School, Carnegie Mellon University, National University of Singapore, Tsinghua University, and Fudan University.
  • Various scholarships and financial aid packages are provided to qualified students to help them complete their overseas exchange studies and internships.
  • Our graduates are well equipped with soft skills of communication, problem-solving and big data analytics, they are in high demands with jobs like global business managers and technology business investors in global investment, and consulting firms.
