The Corporate Governance programme was comprehensive, covering subjects such as tax, investment, management accounting and strategy. It was very practical and relevant to my day-to-day work. Arthur Lee Kin |  |
 | As a PolyU graduate, I know that the university focuses on practicality and helps students to build networks. The guest lectures were good opportunities for interacting with people such as Kong Kong, US and mainland Chinese regulators. I learned how to conduct AGMs and board meetings and gained extensive practical experience. Julian Leung Ho Yan |
Learning is much more than simply acquiring knowledge and professional qualifications. It is through learning that one is able to distinguish right from wrong, and to enhance critical thinking. Lai On Ki |  |
 | The programme helped me gain a professional qualification and develop analytical and critical thinking skills. It was the best platform for sharing knowledge and updates on work situations between professors, professionals and students. Kwong Wing Yan |
This programme equipped me with skills and knowledge applicable to solving problems in accounting, governance and legal functions. It also enabled me to obtain the professional qualification of Chartered Secretary. Woo Ka Man Stella |  |
 | In addition to acquiring knowledge, group projects enabled me to hone my interpersonal and presentation skills and to develop friendships with my fantastic teammates. HUANG Yin |
I learnt more than just theories, rules and regulations. Analytical skills are crucial for facilitating governance in the corporate environment in my profession. OR Kam Ting |  |
 | MCG at PolyU puts theory into practice. Lectures were essential for laying the foundation of my professional expertise and knowledge, enabling me to accumulate invaluable market-based assets and advance my development in corporate finance and in deal structuring. CHUI Tsan Kit |
Good corporate governance is now a top priority for many boards, due to the enhanced risk management regulatory requirements of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and other regulators. This MCG programme provides me with intelligent insights from faculty members and fellow classmates. It also enables me to consolidate what I have learned into practical contributions to my industry’s regulatory development. This is indeed a unique and rewarding journey that I would recommend to anyone who desires to attain a management position. LAU Ka Yee Joyce |  |
