Aims and Special Features

The Bachelor of Business Administration (Hons.) in Corporate Governance and Risk
Management programme aims to equip students with the conceptual and practical tools to
improve the corporate governance and risk management of organizations. It enables students
to acquire a wide range of knowledge and skills in business administration, corporate

and Business Ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility), and risk management (e.g.
Corporate Risk Management, Risk and Compliance, Financial Risk Analysis and
Management). The minimum requirement for graduation is 125 credits.

The programme includes one core course in Year 4 – Capstone Project – which includes
Internship and Project Report Writing. Students will obtain practical experience in related
industries through a planned and supervised internship arrangement in relevant commercial
companies. In addition, the course provides an opportunity for students to familiarize
themselves with business project research procedures and settings and to write up an
individual project report on the relevant discipline of their internship companies.

Governance, Risk and Compliance relate to a company’s strategy for managing the broad
issues of corporate governance, enterprise risk management and corporate compliance with
regard to regulatory requirements. The programme is one of the first Bachelor degree
programmes in Hong Kong which addresses all these major areas and provides a
comprehensive training to students who would like to develop their career in the governance
and risk management industry. This programme aims to prepare students for a wide range of
professional and global careers to meet the current market demand from potential employers
such as professional agencies offering accounting and company secretary services, listed
companies, commercial banks, financial asset management companies, and financial
regulators such as the Securities and Futures Commission and the Hong Kong Monetary
Authority.
