You may choose your electives from one or two of the following five concentrations:

  • Financial Services and Planning: Choose this concentration if you are strong in mathematics and financial analysis. 
     
  • Marketing: Choose this concentration if you are an outgoing person who loves to interact with others and have creative ideas.
     
  • Human Resource Management: Choose this concentration if you are confident of your skills in communication, coordination, and organization.
     
  • Corporate Governance: Choose this concentration if you have strong capabilities in analysis and decision-making, as well as strong patience.
  • i-Entrepreneurship: Choose this concentration if you are courageous and creative that you wish to start your own business.


You may choose up to two concentrations (that is, “double concentration”). A double concentration may give you thorough understanding in more than one core domain of business and management and may bring you flexibility when you seek for jobs in the future. Before deciding to take two concentrations, you are advised to pay attention to your ability, time management, and class arrangement, because a double concentration entails more time and mental investment than one concentration.

We wish to remind you that the Department will not guarantee that all students who apply for a double concentration can be accommodated due to various reasons, such as limited classrooms/venues or conflict in schedule.

For BBA students, internship is offered as an elective in Year 4 studies. However, students enrolled in BBA-DM, BBA-CGRM, and BBA-HRMAP need to take one compulsory course – Capstone Project.

Being an intern in a company, professional body, or social enterprise may allow you to gain hands-on experience of real-world practices in an actual workplace. Internship combines engagement in the daily operation of an external agency with reflection to connect students’ experiences in the workplace.

In the project, you are expected to complete an individual report applying the specialist academic knowledge gained in the program to the situations encountered in your internship company.
