繁中

The ABA in Human Resource Management programme offers broad-based business and HR knowledge to provide state-of-the-art education, which is fully endorsed by the professional bodies within and outside Hong Kong, including the Hong Kong Institute of Human Resources Management, the Human Resources Management Association (Canada), etc. To nurture all-round development, summer internship is arranged for students to acquire hands-on experience in HRM and to establish the professional network with HR executives, together with some other co-curricular activities, such as company visits, community service, and so forth. The programme is well justified in its popularity through its high percentage of admission to university (80% or above) and healthy job opportunities.
