The student exchange programme is vital to developing the international perspectives of our

students. Through sustained and concerted efforts, we have managed to cultivate linkages

with many reputable universities in different parts of the world. As of December 2005, the

CityU’s Faculty of Business (FB) is a young and dynamic

business school. As a pre-eminent provider of business

education in Hong Kong, an international business and

finance centre, FB takes advantage of Hong Kong’s unique

position of having the motherland’s backing while reaching

out to the world. Our study programmes produce

graduates who are not only conversant with subject

knowledge and professional skills, but are also

international in outlook. Internationalization is a key

element of FB’s strategic development.

student body, we have appointed a Director of International Exchange, and have set up a

Committee on International Exchange with membership drawn from all departments to formulate

policies and oversee exchange activities in the Faculty. One initiative currently being explored is

arranging for student participation in overseas voluntary organizations whereby students gain

valuable international experience while contributing to a worthwhile cause. We have also drawn up a

3-year plan to promote international student exchange activities through the commitment of up to

HK$10m each year, which will provide financial sponsorships to enable about 50% of students to

participate in overseas student exchange programmes. This issue of the FB Bulletin offers a glimpse

of some of our student activities and our international student exchange programme.

Faculty of Business has signed exchange

agreements with universities in Europe,

North America, South America,

Australia, Asia and Africa. Students can

select from over 70 partner institutions

to spend their study abroad, and with

these growing choices and options, the

number of students participating in

international exchange has continued to increase. In the academic year

2005-06, the Faculty of Business will send a total of 126 students

abroad, while we will be receiving 150 incoming students from around the

world. The commitment of resources will no doubt further enhance our

international student exchange which is instrumental to internationalizing

our student body.
