| Students from the Faculty
of Business and Economics studying
in the BBA programme may opt for the BBA-French major
stream. This programme aims at combining the Bachelor of Business
Administration
offered in the Faculty of Business and Economics with
a range of courses selected from the BA French major.
The intention
is to provide
BBA students with an intensive training in French which
will enhance their competitiveness upon graduation.
The
programme enjoys strong support from the Consulate
General of France and the French Chamber o f Commerce and
Industry in Hong Kong. It is also closely connected to the
French
corporate community in the region through its links
to the French Trade Advisors
Committee (Conseillers du Commerce Extérieur - CCE),
an official local body set up by the French Ministry of Industry
and
Commerce.
Once
engaged in the programme, undergraduates may
expect support under various forms throughout the 3-year
curriculum: information sharing,
seminars, visits to French companies, internships,
scholarships, short or longer stays in France, exchange
schemes with
partner institutions in France. Finally, graduates
may expect that their prospects of employment in a
French
company will be greatly enhanced.
