What will I learn?

Have you ever considered enhancing your competitive edge by studying for a double degree? The Faculty of Engineering, in collaboration with the Faculty of Business Administration here at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, is offering double degree option in Engineering and Business Administration starting from the 2007 entry. The ERG-BBA double degree option offer you:

two bachelor degrees in 4 years (for 3-year curriculum) and 5 years (for 4-year curriculum).
inter-disciplinary professional knowledge in both Engineering and Business Administration which enhances your competitive edge in future career development or pursuit of higher degrees.
a wider career choice after graduation.

Structure

Entrants of this double degree option would pursue their first bachelor degree at the Faculty of Engineering with a selected major (Biomedical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electronic Engineering, Energy and Environmental Engineering, Financial Technology, Information Engineering, Mechanical and Automation Engineering, and Systems Engineering & Engineering Management), and upon completion of the first degree, pursue the second bachelor degree in Integrated Business Administration (IBBA) at the Faculty of Business Administration. Students would be awarded a Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) (or a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) if majoring in Computer Science), and Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) majoring in Integrated Business Administration (IBBA) upon completion of studies.

Special features of this option include:

The double degree option in Engineering and Business Administration is designed as a 4 + 1 programme under the 4-year curriculum (3 + 1 programme for the old 3-year curriculum). The second degree programme would last for one year and is run on a self-financing basis where the current annual tuition fee is $120,000 (for students admitted in 2013-14 to 2016-17) / $145,000 (for students admitted in 2017-18 and beyond).
Students will complete the first degree before beginning the second degree. The second degree is optional and students might choose to opt out from the programme if they want to.
Students in this double degree option will need to take some IBBA courses during the study period of the first degree. If they eventually do not join the second degree in Business Administration, they will be awarded a Minor in Integrated Business Administration in recognition of the credits units earned from these courses if they fulfill relevant academic requirements of the IBBA Minor programme.
