Programme Orientation
The ProgrammeOrientation 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 andintroduced 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 lifestage.
For most students, thegames at the Financial Trading Laboratory would probably be the highlight ofthe orientation although some would argue this and choose lunch instead. Studentswere brought to the Financial Trading Laboratory to get hand-onexperience on Bloomberg Terminals. Mr Bosco Yim, Financial Trading Laboratorymanager, ran the session and led a short competition to lift the excitementeven further. Some students shared that they were very amazed with such aplatform where many different sorts of data could be obtained.
The rich content of theorientation 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 chanceto meet and chat informally with the students. A great day overall.
