Associate of Business Administration in Accountancy

繁中

UOWCHK’s Associate of Business Administration in Accountancy, with over 15 years of good reputation, has been one of the outstanding programmes in Hong Kong. Graduates with accountancy knowledge, general education and people skills are better enabled to articulate into local and international accountancy degree programmes, as well as to move into a wide range of careers in accounting and business. The first foundation year covers the essential disciplines of business and accountancy. In the second year, you will acquire advanced accountancy topics. As graduates are eligible for partial exemptions of professional examinations of professional bodies, this programme is a sensible choice towards earning any internationally recognized professional qualification.
