Why BBA Global Operations Management?

Operations management (OM) is the art and science of transforming ideas into actions.  At the core of running a business in our competitive economy, cost efficiency and operational flexibility are necessary for survival and success.  Many companies operate complex supply chains, and we are increasingly reliant on technological innovations to manage the challenging process of sourcing and delivering goods across countries in a timely manner. Companies are also seeking to increase their efficiency when they are faced with constrained resources, which may include human capital, time, and money. OM helps organizations to create value for customers, maximize sustainable profits, and achieve operational excellence. 

Our BBA Global Operations Management (GOM) programme aims to develop students' analytical abilities, problem-solving skills, and technical competence in the areas of OM, supply chain and logistics, and operations analytics.  You will study from an integrated curriculum, which combines a general business foundation with advanced topics, to prepare you for future success in managerial positions.

Student sharing

 

 

Cheung Chiu Keung, Leo (Intern in Hang Seng Bank)

“You can’t put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get.” – Michael Phelps

I worked at Hang Seng Bank as Chief Administrative Office (CAO) intern under Operations, Services and Technology department. This 5-month internship experience broadens my horizons a lot.

What I learned from Hang Seng Bank that can’t find in textbooks or lectures, so it is a valuable and unique opportunity for me. Although I had felt terrifying and challenging to the projects, luckily my colleagues assisted me with no doubt. I am so glad that this internship broadened my horizons.

Internship program acts as a bridge to connect our career paths, no matter seeking your paths or adapting work pace. How much you gain depends on how much you pay, so my advice to all of you is not to question your abilities and push your limits. If you can dream it, you can do it!

Ma Wing Sin, Eunice (Intern in Esquel Group)

With the vision of making a difference in the world, Esquel cares a lot about the harmonious of environment and people, as well as a sustainable future worthy of appreciation by generations to come.

During my summer internship in Esquel, I was with Technical Development Centre and assigned with a project to promote a new printing technology within the company, which was 3D printing. To be honest, I knew nothing about 3D printing beforehand but I was glad to take this challenge. On the way of organising the 3D printing workshop to colleagues, I did lots of researches and kept myself familiar with this technology by trial and errors. Though I encountered quite a lot of difficulties during the preparation time, I learnt far more than I expected, including AutoCAD and event management skills.

Apart from the departmental duties, Esquel also provided summer interns an opportunity to have a business trip to Gaoming, one of their major factory plants. It was a valuable experience to know how a complete textile manufacturing process was. We even got a chance to assemble a t-shirt using sewing machine by ourselves. The trip gave me a bigger picture of Esquel’s operation beyond my department.

As an innovative textile firm, Esquel does place value on developing new technologies; not only for operations, but also colleagues’ personal development. I appreciate the vision, work atmosphere and more importantly, the teammates’ love there. I would say my last summer has definitely well spent in Esquel.

 

Lu Chun Yu, Jonathan (Intern in Deloitte)

Greetings! I am Jonathan, one of the many GOM buddies and it is the third month since I have been an Audit intern with Deloitte under their 4-month Spring Internship Program.

Life at Deloitte is thrilling. Working on a project basis, as opposed to a hierarchy structure, we get to meet new colleagues and new clients very often. It is not unusual that we have to face the CFOs and Directors by ourselves alone. As an intern, this has given me an invaluable opportunity to grasp in-depth knowledge and understanding of the different clients’ companies and the  industries in which they operate.

“How does Audit relate to your studies?”, you may ask. You may have heard this many times, but operations is everywhere, in our client’s businesses and even in Deloitte itself. The Audit work that we perform everyday requires us to thoroughly understand the way our clients do businesses so that we are able to detect risk of fraud or error and other anomalies. Deloitte, having a project based organizational structure with over 225,400 employees worldwide, also has a unique and efficient operations management practice that is very much worth learning.

There is no doubt that the professional services industry is an intense and rapidly changing environment where you have to be versatile in order to excel. Fortitude is also essential to endure the long working hours. With that being said, this is a place where hard-work pays off and where you can take in and learn a lot like a pool for a sponge.

Career Prospects

Our graduates are prepared to work in the areas which require data analytics, statistics and information management knowledge.

Summer Internship Programme

Many of our students are able to find summer internship, either by themselves or through our referral, in various industries. Below are some sharing from the students:

 

Kenneth Lee (Intern in Hang Seng Bank and HSBC)

Hi! My name is Kenneth. Over the past years, I have completed successive internships at two premier Hong Kong banking institutions - Hang Seng Bank (July - December 2024) and HSBC (January - June 2025), specializing in  commercial banking, digital innovation, and wholesale banking solutions.

Job Nature

My internship joinery encompassed diverse responsibilities across digital transformation initiative and traditional banking operations. At Hang Seng Bank's Wholesale Digital Team, I supported cross-border collaboration projects under the Greater Bay Area (GBA) initiative, contributing to the launch of digital lending products. 

At HSBC's Strategy & Innovation Team, I focus on commercialization activities for digital propositions like Business Go platform, conducting market research on fintech partnerships and managing client engagement events. My daily tasks integrate data analysis, and automation development using VBA to streamline workflows.

Achievement and Learnings

These experiences have been transformative in shaping my understanding of Hong Kong's evolving financial landscape. I discovered my passion for the intersection of technology and finance, leading me to pursue specialized knowledge in business analytics and digital transformation. The mentorship from senior bankers have provided invaluable insights into career progression within the financial services industry.

 

Philomena Wang (Intern in Sigtica Limited)

Hi, everyone! I’m Philomena, a current student majoring in Business Decision Analytics. In the summer of 2024, I had the opportunity to intern at Sigtica Limited, a start-up firm where I worked as a data analyst.

Job Nature

Sigtica Limited is a dynamic and fast-growing startup, and I was thrilled to secure a role as a data analyst. My solid background in programming and data analysis tools helped me stand out during the application process. Through this internship, I realized how valuable technical skills in machine learning and natural language processing are in today’s job market. My prior experience with programming languages and statistical analysis gave me the competitive edge needed to land this exciting opportunity.

Learning and Achievement

This internship marked a shift from my previous experiences, as it was more focused on computer science and model development. Although I initially encountered challenges adapting to the technical demands of the role, my perseverance and problem-solving skills enabled me to overcome these obstacles. I successfully built and fine-tuned a prediction model for Named Entity Recognition (NER), automating the extraction of key information from IPO documents. By leveraging the Transformer library, I developed a model that achieved an impressive F1 score of 95%, streamlining the process of analyzing large financial documents.

Throughout the internship, I gained invaluable experience working with different NLP platforms, including spaCy, Transformer, and ONNX. I was able to convert models between these platforms seamlessly, which enhanced my technical expertise. The data-related courses offered by DAO Department were particularly rewarding as they gave me a solid understanding of big data operations and statistics which is very important in the Internet industry.

Professional Qualification

The BDAN programme received accreditation from the Royal Statistical Society (RSS), U.K., recognising its standards in statistics and data analytics. Graduates are awarded Graduate Statistician (RSS) status and are eligible to pursue the Chartered Statistician (RSS) qualification after five years of work experience.
