Programme Description

The Accounting Concentration provides a balance of breadth and depth in the discipline, with a view of producing accountants with a much-needed analytical and conceptual mind. Accountants are always in strong demand in the business world, and this Concentration is carefully designed to provide students not just with training in accounting, but with multi-disciplinary knowledge, analytical ability, information processing proficiency, communication skills, and a sound liberal education for them to excel in the accounting profession and other business fields.

 

Unique Features

  • A balanced programme providing in-depth accounting training, broad-based business curriculum and a wide range of liberal studies.
  • A broad education seeking to build students' analytical ability, information processing proficiency and communication skills.
  • Professional recognition from the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (HKICPA), Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), CPA Australia, Association of International Accountants (AIA), and CMA Australia.
  • A special programme of summer classes is available to allow BBA (ACCT) students to join full-time semester-long spring internships with Big4s and other well-known CPA firms, or overseas exchanges without having to delay their graduation.
  • Plentiful scholarship awards that are exclusively available to BBA (ACCT) students only.
  • Additional graduation options include a Double Concentration within the BBA, or a Minor in a non-business discipline.

 

Student Learning Experiences

  • All BBA students are required to complete at least 120 hours of experiential learning activities (exchange/internship/service learning) before graduation.
