The kickoff meeting for the Business Mentoring Programme 2022-23 officially launched on 16 Dec. The business mentors dedicated time and effort to sharing their real-world expertise to help student mentees broaden their horizons. Through mentorship, MBA students will cultivate their professional networks, learn about business executives' challenges, and extend mentors' experience in their desired fields in the upcoming 6 months before the end of the programme. We wish everyone an incredible learning journey! Here are some memorable moments to recap:

To welcome our new MBA Cohort 2022, the MBA Office prepared several activities in early September 2022, including a day of team-building exercises, prepping workshops, alumni sharing, and meeting with faculty and mentors. Here are some memorable moments to recap the great start of the term!

The College of Business is pleased to announce an innovative professional degree collaboration across the business and law disciplines. An accelerated path to business and law courses will be offered by the MBA and Juris Doctor (JD) programmes from the 2022/23 academic year onwards. 

A warm welcome to the 2021 Cohort! The new students kicked off their MBA journey with a series of Orientation activities in the first week of September with various workshops and networking sessions with the current students, alumni, mentors and faculty members.

It was delightful to welcome the new students in the MBA Orientation from 12 to 13 September 2020 at the City University campus and online virtual classroom. Under the pandemic, the orientation activities were carried out in a hybrid format that a limited number of students under the social distancing measure joined the activities in-person. Some international students affected by the travel restrictions attended the events and connected with their new fellows through the online meeting platform.
