Our Students
Internship Opportunities
One of our students worked as an intern in a financial institution
HSUHK considers internship to be an effective learning tool for students. The on-the-job training and close supervision of internship projects help students to integrate textbook knowledge with practice, making the learning experience even more rewarding and challenging. Through our College’s Careers Office, we have partnered with numerous financial institutions to provide internship opportunities for our undergraduates.
“Working as an intern in China Citic Bank International was an extremely valuable and precious opportunity to consolidate and heighten my knowledge base. For instance, we have all learned and heard the terms such as FX Swap, Bid Ask Spread, Buy Low Sell High and etc. However, how are they actually being used in the real business world? All these are integrated into my daily work in the bank, not just written definitions in the textbook or lecture notes.
Other than that, this internship experience helped me to build up life-long friendship with my colleagues, get a “real world” insight and advice towards my career goals. More importantly, it has also enlarged my network and connection in the business world and will enhance my employability.”
Daniel Chan, a previous intern in China Citic Bank
