Welcome Message

Kathryn Haynes
Professor Kathryn Haynes
Dean, Hull University Business School

I am delighted to be celebrating a decade of successful partnership between Hull University Business School and HKU SPACE.

Our collaboration has grown over the years and we are now offering internationally accredited undergraduate degree programmes – Bachelor of Arts (Hons) Marketing and Management and Bachelor of Arts (Hons) Marketing programmes.

At Hull University Business School we are dedicated to providing top quality education and are proud to hold independent international accreditations such as AMBA and AACSB, the latter of which is held by less than 5% of the world’s 13,000 business programmes.

This commitment to quality is reflected in our collaborative degrees in Hong Kong, all of which are accredited by the Hong Kong Council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications (HKCAAVQ). In addition our accounting degree has been accredited by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (HKICPA), as well as achieving exemptions from many major international accounting bodies.

Ensuring our students are fully prepared for a successful future career in the global job market is the cornerstone of our provision. Teaching is delivered by Hull academics and is informed by their research, meaning that all our students learn cutting-edge theories and practice. Combined with the excellent facilities and support of the International College, students can be certain of developing key skills and knowledge to make them very desirable to employers.

Of course graduates from the programmes are invited to join a thriving community of Hull alumni in Hong Kong, as well as enjoying continued support from both HKU SPACE and Hull University Business School.

We look forward to continuing to develop our relationship with HKU SPACE for many years to come, playing our role at the forefront of education in Hong Kong.

I wish you well in your studies.

Award and
Careers

Award

Upon satisfactory completion of the programme, students will be awarded the Bachelor of Science With Honours in Accounting by The University of Hull.

Career Opportunities

The accounting function is essential for all business entities whether they are multinational corporations or small companies. The demand for accounting service has consistently been on the rise with the expansion of the Hong Kong and China economy. Therefore, the demand for educated and qualified accounting personnel to support different sectors of the economy is rapidly growing.

The HKSAR Government’s strong emphasis on the six economic pillars rooted in innovative and knowledge-based industries has led to a strong local economy. The positive development of a CEPA agreement between Mainland China and Hong Kong has eased market restrictions, granting local accounting professionals direct access to the Mainland market. All these factors spur the demand for accountants with international credentials and exposure.
