The degree programme in Accounting and Banking was one of our first
programmes introduced in the College since 1947. For more than five
decades, the programme has been nurturing a significant number of
talented graduates with specialised knowledge and skills in accounting
and banking. These graduates, capable of serving as accountants
or banking specialists in the financial sectors, have been making
contributions to the amazing prosperity and fast progress of Hong
Kong.
The success of our programme is based on a curriculum that is specifically
designed to meet the local and international needs of global economy.
Its content is introduced systematically from elementary to advanced,
covering both fundamental and professional knowledge for effective
applications of theories to practices.
Moreover, special focus is placed on training students to work
accurately, efficiently and ethically for gaining professional recognition
and following careers in the accounting and banking fields. As early
as in the early 1980s our Department firstly included courses in
Computer Applications in response to the increasing use of computers
in the business and banking environments. Computing facilities were
added to provide practical learning opportunity to students so that
they could quickly adapt to the requirements for speed and accuracy
when entering the accounting and banking workforce.
As far as professional recognitions are concerned, the programme
has also long been following the important direction for graduates
to become members of various international associations of accountants
and to obtain the qualification of professional accountants. Keeping
close links with the industry has also been our tradition that seminars
from professionals are regularly held to give students an insightful
understanding of the current affairs and the latest development
in the real world of accounting and banking.
