Introduce BA Undergraduate Programmes to Secondary School Students
 
   

 

 

To help secondary school students better understand the undergraduate programmes for planning their future studies, our Faculty has put much effort to introduce our undergraduate programmes to them through various channels including introductory seminars, Student Ambassador Programme and Career Master Meeting.

 
 

Introductory Seminars
Over 110 F.6 students from Diocesan Girls' School (DGS) visited the University and attended seminars organized by our six programmes on 16 December 2004. Six BA faculty members including Prof. Gordon Cheung, Associate Dean (Undergraduate Studies), Prof. Eliza Tse of School of Hotel and Tourism Management, Prof. Chow Ying Foon and Prof. Albert Wong of Department of Finance, Mr. Jimmy Chiu of Department of Management and Mr. Simon Lee of School of Accountancy, met with the students and introduced our programmes. Many DGS girls expressed that they have gained valuable information for their study plan after discussion with our professors.

On 24 November 2004, we delivered an introductory seminar to more than 100 F.5 students from Our Lady's College. Dr. Agnes Sie, Administrative Director (Undergraduate Studies) gave a presentation on our Faculty and our undergraduate programmes. Two members of our Outstanding Business Students Academy (OBSA) Publicity Committee, Karen Siu (BBA Year 1) and Charlie Wong (PAC Year 1) introduced our OBSA activities to the students. Athena Chan (BBA Year 3), an old girl of Our Lady's College shared her fruitful experience with her junior fellows.

Mr. Jimmy Chiu of Department of Management and Dr. Agnes Sie, Administrative Director (Undergraduate Studies) visited Hang Seng School of Commerce (HSSC) on 15 October 2004 to introduce our undergraduate programmes to over 100 F.7 students. Mr. Chiu gave a presentation on our Faculty and undergraduate programmes' features, admission information and enrichment training. Four Year 2 BBA students including Dorothy Chan, Vincent Chan, Gigi Chong and Natalie Wong, past students of HSSC, shared their university life with their junior fellows. Many HSSC students said that this seminar was very useful for their planning on future studies.

Student Ambassador Programme
Student Ambassador Programme is one of our outreach programmes to promote our Faculty and undergraduate programmes to sixth formers. Every year, we recruit our Year 1 and Year 2 students to join the Student Ambassador Programme and act as our Faculty's ambassadors to introduce our Faculty, undergraduate programmes and their university life to junior fellows of their alma maters. This year, we have 58 student ambassadors visited 29 secondary schools in Hong Kong from mid-October to early November. This shows a 16% increase in the no. of student ambassadors and a 26% increase in the no. of schools visited when compared with last year's programme.

Career Master Meeting
It is an annual event to meet with the career masters of secondary schools and provide them with up-to-date information on the curricula, admission requirements and enrichment training of our undergraduate programmes that most sixth formers are keen to know. This year's meetings were held in early October on CUHK campus and at our MBA Town Centre in Central. Eight BA faculty members attended the meetings and addressed participants' questions individually. They are Prof. Kam-hon Lee and Prof. Eliza Tse of School of Hotel and Tourism Management, Prof. Dennis Fan and Prof. Albert Wong of Department of Finance, Prof. Woody Wu and Mrs. Shirley Kan of School of Accountancy, Mr. Jimmy Chiu of Department of Management and Dr. Agnes Sie, Administrative Director (Undergraduate Studies). Over 90 career masters from 80 secondary schools participated in our meetings this year.
