Programme Orientation

The Programme Orientation for BBA-FA and BBA-BAF Programmes was held on 20 August 2015 (Thursday). Dr David Chui, the Programme Director of BBA-FA, officiated the event with a warm welcome and introduced the BBA-FA and BBA-BAF concentration programme curriculum and uniqueness, while other academic staff shared with students on programme challenges, external environment and job market, and psychological readiness for a new life stage.

For most students, the games at the Financial Trading Laboratory would probably be the highlight of the orientation although some would argue this and choose lunch instead. Students were brought to the Financial Trading Laboratory to get hand-on experience on Bloomberg Terminals. Mr Bosco Yim, Financial Trading Laboratory manager, ran the session and led a short competition to lift the excitement even further. Some students shared that they were very amazed with such a platform where many different sorts of data could be obtained.

The rich content of the orientation filled up the heads of new students with necessary programme information, whereas the lunch buffet filled up their stomach instead.  Teaching and supporting staff took the chance to meet and chat informally with the students.  A great day overall.
