Programme Aims
Learning and teaching are our core activities. We are committed to nurturing our students’ professional competence and supporting their all-round development.
Students complete some General University Requirements core and fundamental business subjects at an early stage. They then choose one of the following awards as their specialism for graduation.
BBA (Hons) in Management
Management skills are required by all business professionals. As an area of study, management is concerned with how to get the best out of people and other resources.
This programme provides students with a well-rounded business education and training in general management, along with the opportunity to specialise in human resource management. Students are equipped with a wide range of management skills to give them the potential to develop as business leaders in Hong Kong, the Chinese mainland and the region.
BBA (Hons) in Marketing
This programme provides students with a well-rounded business education; competence in the analysis, planning, implementation and control of marketing decisions; analytical ability and research competence; the ability to communicate, interact and intervene in the integrative role that is ascribed to marketing; appreciation of the responsibilities of marketing professionals within broader environmental and international contexts; and literacy in the use of information systems and technology that is relevant to marketing.
All students within the Faculty of Business are encouraged to participate in a range of extracurricular activities, such as leadership training camps, peer tutoring, and mentorship.
If students wish, and subject to availability, they can spend a semester studying at another university overseas or in mainland China, with the credits counted towards their PolyU degree.
Work-Integrated Education (WIE)
To graduate, every student must complete 100 hours (3 training credits) of WIE. The Department offers opportunities for students to work in firms either during the summer vacation or alongside their studies. Summer placements may be available in Hong Kong, in mainland China or overseas. These and other forms of work experience count towards the WIE requirement.
Characteristics of Scheme-based Admission
Students first follow a common curriculum under the Scheme.
It offers students approximately one year to identify their area(s) of interest and career aspirations, which facilitates their Major programme selection.
The decision to admit a student to a Major programme will be made by the Department based on the student’s choice, overall GPA of Year One study, and individual subject results (i.e., MM2021 Management and Organisation and MM2711 Introduction to Marketing). Students will be asked to indicate their choices of Major programme during Semester 2 of their Year One study for the Department’s consideration and approval.
In the event of oversubscription for any of the programmes, the number of students admitted to that programme will be capped at 60% of the number of students in the respective years.

Career Prospects
The multidisciplinary nature of these programmes, which foster knowledge and skills in general management, managerial leadership, human resources management, marketing, advertising and digital marketing, maximises the employment opportunities available to graduates. Graduates can take up a wide variety of general management and administrative positions, including those of management trainee, training official, and recruitment official, in various areas, such as customer services, public relations, and consumer affairs and protection.
All programmes under the Scheme have the following structure:
Year 1 covers the University’s Compulsory Core subjects and fundamental business subjects, along with Broadening subjects and Language and Communication Requirements subjects. This wide exposure to business, management, and marketing disciplines helps students to make an informed choice of award (specialism) for graduation.
From Year 2 onwards, students follow the curriculums of their selected Major programmes. They also have the chance to apply their knowledge through a year-long Capstone Project in their final year of study.
The option of Secondary Major in AI and Data Analytics (AIDA) is available to the students admitted to the two programmes under the BBA (Hons) Scheme in Management and Marketing.

Management | Marketing | |
Discipline-Specific Requirements (DSR) | 87 credits | 87 credits |
Secondary Major Requirements (SMR) | 36 credits | 36 credits |
General University Requirements (GUR) | 30 credits | 30 credits |
Minimum credit requirements for graduation | At least 132 credits | At least 132 credits |
9 credits of GUR subjects and 12 credits of SMR subjects can be fulfilled by completing the relevant DSR subjects.
Students are also required to complete 3 training credits in Work-Integrated Education (WIE) in order to graduate.
