Corporate Projects Bring Real Life Experience to Students

The HKUST Business School believes corporate projects enable students to apply the knowledge and skills they have learnt during their undergraduate business study. These projects also add value to corporate partners by providing recommendations to address specific issues.

The Corporate Project provides an invaluable opportunity for students to work in teams with a corporation/ organization and allows them to apply concepts, knowledge, skills and methodologies learned from business courses on specific, real-world problems, issues or challenges. It also provides students the opportunity to undertake industry and company analysis with a focus on practical solutions to real organizational issues.
