Overview

In February 2008, CityU’s College of Business formed a partnership with the University of California at Berkeley, becoming the first Hong Kong partner of its Asia Business Centre.  Through the partnership, our students and alumni will have the privilege of joining a 5-day Advanced Management Programme at UC Berkeley in the United States. Participants of the programme will benefit substantially from the global perspectives offered into world markets. The programme offers senior executives a platform for refreshing management skills, learning new knowledge, self-reflection, view exchange and benchmarking experiences. The programme was successfully launched for the first time during the period from 18 – 22 August 2008.
