To achieve this aim, students will acquire an understanding of the social, economic, regulatory and political environments related to business in Hong Kong, the Chinese mainland and the Asia-Pacific region. We also provide students with a broad-based education covering various general education perspectives in business disciplines such as economics, finance, management, marketing, information management and quantitative methods, and a choice of over 50 minor studies.

Curriculum

For details about the curriculum requirements, please click here.

What You Will Be Studying

The major in Accountancy at CityU has three streams of study that target students' different developmental needs and prepare them for the career path of professional accountants.

The Professional Accounting Stream aims to provide an active learning environment in which students can acquire knowledge of accounting and interrelated business disciplines, along with the broader skills and essential values expected of the leaders of the accounting profession in Hong Kong and the Greater China region.

The Professional Accounting and Legal Studies Stream aims to provide students with a broad based business education and a specialisation in accounting with a strong legal background. Graduates of the programme will be able to competently conduct independent research in accounting and legal issues. This ability will undoubtedly enhance their career progression in CPA firms, government bodies or commercial organisations.

The Professional Accounting and Information Systems Audit Stream aims to provide students with a broad-based education in business that specialises in the integrated disciplines of accounting and information systems. The stream's graduates have more alternatives in their future careers than pure accounting students. With training in both accounting and information systems, our graduates can choose to work for public accounting firms not only in financial auditing and taxation areas, but also in information system auditing. Graduates of this stream can also work for multinational corporations such as IBM, HSBC and Hang Seng Bank as project managers. Others may serve as enterprise resource planning consultants due to their training in information management in addition to accounting.

For details of the curriculum structure, please visit ARRO's website at http://www.cityu.edu.hk/arro/catalogue.

Professional Accreditation

Accreditation is obtained from the following professional bodies: Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (HKICPA) Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) CPA Australia Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) Note: Professional accreditation is subject to periodic review by the respective professional bodies.

Year of Entry 2014


Admission Code 1054

Programme/Major Leader Dr Andrew CHAN MBA PGDMS (CPHK), PhD (Lancaster), FHCIMA [email protected]


Our Target

Ours is the only programme in Hong Kong that enables students to undertake rigorous training in business while simultaneously acquiring a good working knowledge of the Japanese language. The programme strives to provide students with:

a solid foundation in all key business and management areas; extensive training in the Japanese language; direct exposure to Japan through optional study tours, home stays, company visits and exchange

programmes with partnership universities in Japan; and a deep understanding of the Japanese economy, management and Japan’s economic presence in

Hong Kong and mainland of China through courses, dinner talks and guest lectures by prominent scholars and business leaders.


Innovative business opportunities are increasing as Japan continues its dramatic economic restructuring. The last several years have seen a surge in foreign investment as companies from around the globe (including Hong Kong) successfully tap into the world’s third largest economy and one of the world’s richest consumer markets. Meanwhile, numerous Japanese companies are moving their manufacturing operations into the Chinese mainland or sourcing products from the mainland via Hong Kong. Graduates of this programme, with their knowledge of business, Japanese, English (and often Putonghua) are in a particularly good position to launch careers related to these new trends. Recent graduates have joined Japanese companies in Hong Kong or companies and organisations dealing with Japan. Other graduates have capitalised on their solid business training to pursue careers not directly connected to Japan.

This programme is designed to prepare graduates for a multidisciplinary professional architectural practice by equipping them with a deep understanding of diverse architectural knowledge and a command of technology and integration that will enable them to serve the building industry as architects or other professionals. Graduates will become the driving force behind innovative and creative architectural designs that reflect a balance and integration of design and technology.


This programme aims to provide students with a sound professional and technological foundation to pursue higher professional degree study.

Given the fast pace of urbanisation in the Chinese mainland and the rest of Asia, millions of people will move to the cities in the coming decades. Constructing new towns and restoring old towns is an immense task. In developed countries, particularly the US, there is one architect for every 1,500 people. In Hong Kong, the number is one for every 3,500 and on the mainland, an architect will serve, on average, more than 100,000 people. The number of architectural professionals in the Chinese mainland and throughout Asia is far from enough to meet the increasing social demand and expected growth as the economy improves and the property market recovers.

Did You Know?

Because this programme is multi-disciplinary, it draws expertise from various departments of the College of Science and Engineering. Hence, students will receive high-quality teaching and training provided by the most appropriate departments.

Due to increasing energy demands and concerns over climate change caused by burning greenhouse-gas-emitting fossil fuels, there has been a revival of interest in nuclear energy. Many cities and countries, including Hong Kong and the Chinese mainland, are planning to significantly increase their use of nuclear energy. Thus, job prospects in the nuclear engineering field are very promising.

Given an aging population and the extensive use of radiation technology for medical applications, job prospects in the medical radiation field are particularly bright.

As increasingly complex engineering systems and civil structures are built in Hong Kong and the Chinese mainland, advanced maintenance engineering is becoming essential to ensure the safe and efficient use of such systems and structures while protecting the huge investments associated with these projects. Job prospects in this field are very good.

Risk engineering is not only essential to the nuclear industry, but also to many big corporations and engineering systems. Many companies have recognised the importance of assessing and managing risks to ensure that their businesses run smoothly. Given this, risk professionals are highly sought-after.

Risk engineering and management involves the assessment of potential threats to find the best ways to avoid them. In contrast, disaster and crisis management involves dealing with threats once they have occurred. Several recent major disasters and product recalls such as the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, severe flooding caused by hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, major vehicle recalls by Toyota, toys recalls by Mattel and the Three-Deer milk powder event have highlighted the importance of crisis management in reducing adverse effects among businesses and governments. Many government departments, non-government organisations, petrochemical companies, public utilities companies, banks and big corporations employ crisis management professionals to protect their businesses from potential consequences.

Bachelor of Arts and Science - New Media

文理學士 - 新媒體

Year of Entry 2014


Admission Code 1471






Programme/Major Leader Dr Hector RODRIGUEZ BA (New Schl for Soc Research), MA, PhD (N.Y.) [email protected]


Our Target

Media creators are increasingly using scientific concepts in their work. Games, for instance, use ideas from physics, biology and mathematics. Multimedia artists are also learning to collaborate with scientists when producing their work. This ground-breaking new major is a response to this cutting-edge trend in the creative world.

This major emphasises lateral thinking and understanding across professions to prepare graduates for an increasingly interdependent and integrated world. Students use technology as an artistic medium, generating learning in a progressive and interdisciplinary context that builds bridges between art, science, technology and the humanities. The curriculum encourages creative and critical thinking in the domain of digital content, together with the successful expression of a socially engaged personal vision through various digital media formats. Graduates receive professional training in state-of-the-art facilities to prepare them for future careers in the use of art, science and technology in the creative industries, innovative education and cultural management.

This major is especially designed for students who are not afraid to break down the barriers between art, science, technology and the humanities.


Graduates will be prepared to become creative content providers for the games industry, animation, TV and digital media broadcasting, cinema and the contemporary arts. They may also choose to join the quickly advancing interactive media industry connected to advertising, exhibition and trade shows, or the emerging field of computer imaging for the health and science professions. Students will become key players in those areas that call for a close dialogue between art, science and culture.
