Being able to work effectively with foreigners and foreign organisations has become a very important contributor to career success in the internationalised economy. The Undergraduate Global Immersion Programme (UG-GIP) is designed to support B&A students in developing their potential in the internationalised environment. UG-GIP aims to instill in students a deeper understanding of a foreign culture and its society and environment, and expose students to a broader overview and understanding of international business.
UG-GIP comprises four non-credit bearing courses: GIP 101BEF (Year 1), GIP 201BEF (Year 2), GIP 300BEF (Year 3)*, and GIP 400BEF (Year 4). These courses are designed to enhance students' intercultural awareness and communication skills and help students to develop a global mindset.
*GIP 300BEF includes a study tour. Students are responsible for incidental expenses such as airfare and accommodation.
Career Prospects
Equipped with key skills such as cultural awareness, language proficiency, and adaptability for success in a globalised marketplace, graduates can choose from diverse career paths, including but not limited to entry-level roles in international marketing, international business development, supply chain and logistics, human resources management and integrated retail and marketing.
Further Studies
Opportunities are available for the graduates of this programme to pursue postgraduate studies in Hong Kong and abroad. Some students will continue to study for a Master of Business Administration or other master's degrees in business-related areas such as accounting, human resource management, corporate governance or electronic commerce.

In my opinion, these experiences foster a global mindset and open doors to exciting overseas prospects. If you’re seeking international exposure, this programme is your perfect choice, so look no further!
