ENTRY REQUIREMENTS AND EXIT PATH
The master degree is designed for not only those who have certain experience in accounting, administration, and Information systems / technology, and been seeking a qualification in the relevant postgraduate studies, but also candidates who already have a sound background in those field and wish to update and develop their knowledge and skills in advanced levels, so as to keep pace with the rapid changes in business and technologies. Students with a Bachelor degree in relevant disciplines or a Graduate Certificate, Graduate Diploma (credit recognised) are eligible to apply for this degree. For students without a Bachelor degree in a relevant discipline, they will need to enrol GCB, or GDB (with the selected units in the related MoB Specification) first.
