The Integrated BBA Program has exposed me to all aspects of business administration, and equipped me with expertise in speci specific business areas. The CUHK Business School not only offers interactive lectures, but presents many out-of-class learning opportunities. I have honed my leadership skills as a committee member of the Society of Business Administration, broadened my horizons by studying in France as an exchange student, and gained hands-on experience as an intern in Hong Kong and New York.

The Integrated BBA Program has helped me lay a strong foundation in business, which has in turn made it easier for me to acquire more advanced knowledge at work.

In my penultimate year, I interned with J.P. Morgan's Investment Banking Strategy, Planning and Analysis team, where I had the chance to compile Executive Management Reports, and assist in strategy projects, including one on RMB internationalization. We were a very diverse team with members from around the world. That experience has turned me into someone who can always speak up for herself, ask the right questions, network well, and assume leadership roles.

Minors You can choose to declare up to two minors. Each minor requires 18 to 30 units of courses. Course and unit exemption applies if the requirements of the minor program overlap those of Integrated BBA.

I was thrilled to be invited back to the firm as a full-time Analyst upon graduation!
