Notable programs

BA Communication (School of Communication and Film)

Top-3 in Hong Kong for journalism, broadcasting, and film. Curriculum integrates news writing, broadcasting (TV and radio), film studies, public relations, advertising, and digital media.

Practical training infrastructure on campus includes TV studios, radio production facilities, film production equipment, and editing suites.

BA Chinese Medicine (School of Chinese Medicine)

One of the strongest Chinese medicine programs globally outside Mainland China.

Structural relationships with Mainland Chinese Chinese medicine institutions including the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine and Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine. Strong placement into Hong Kong Chinese medicine practice, Mainland Chinese Chinese medicine clinics and pharmaceutical firms, and overseas Chinese medicine practice in Asia and beyond.

BBA Business Management (School of Business, Triple Crown accredited: AACSB + EQUIS + AMBA)

Top 1 percent of global business schools on accreditation grounds, with strong programs in finance, accounting, marketing, applied economics, and entrepreneurship. Strong placement into Hong Kong financial services (HSBC, Standard Chartered, Bank of China Hong Kong, Hang Seng Bank), Big Four consulting firms (Deloitte, EY, KPMG, PwC), and Mainland Chinese corporate firms with Hong Kong operations. Smaller cohort sizes (approximately 200 BBA admits per year) allow closer faculty engagement than at larger Hong Kong business schools.

BSc Computer Science (Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Science)

Solid mid-tier Hong Kong CS program with growing AI, data science, and cybersecurity research presence. Hong Kong tech ecosystem (with growing fintech, artificial intelligence, and Web3 sectors) provides structural placement access.

Not HKUST or HKU-tier in selectivity or brand, but respectable mid-tier with smaller cohort sizes and closer faculty-student relationships.

Curriculum spans music performance and composition, visual arts and visual culture, English literature and creative writing, and film production and film studies.
