GBUS ignites infinite possibilities.
An ideal community to drive positive changes and incubate our global leaders.
Explore different cultures and equip yourself with global vision as a changemaker.
GBUS offers unique and diverse international exposure. Students can enjoy exclusive study trips and spend up to two terms of international exchange at a top business school of their choice during their study, thus forming a wide global network and further extend their global learning across continents.
Study Trip
GBUS Study Trip is one of our signature exclusive and immersive experiences that is solely for GBUS students. Through the 2-day to a week-long trip during the Winter/Easter break, our students dive into a brand-new experience in another country or region, and discover the wonders and vibrancy of the country that is filled with passion by exploring a combination of local traditions and modern business development.
International Exchange Program
- Immerse in a Cross-cultural Environment & Gain International Exposure
Wide range of choices of well-known universities on different continents, or become a visiting student outside our exchange network, i.e., Harvard University, Columbia University, Oxford University. - Exchange as a Graduation Requirement
GBUS students are required to take part in at least one international exchange to graduate from the program. - Unique Opportunity for Second Exchange
Open up to an invaluable chance in a second exchange from a selected list of universities after the first exchange semester, given that the destination is on a different continent.
Global Enrichment Fund
GBUS provides financial support to participants of any study abroad and designated global learning opportunities that are exclusive for GBUS students only. Eligible programs include summer and winter programs, semester-long exchange and visiting programs, service trips, competitions, and conferences.
GBUS is a diverse community. Students can freely explore their pathways for internships, start-ups, careers, or even further studies after graduation. Within the GBUS community, you gain meaningful exposure with our strong and close-knit corporate and alumni network in many leading global corporations.
OUR GRADUATES
GBUS values continuous learning through different opportunities. Students are open up to fun and engaging enrichment events within our program.
Global Leadership Forum (GLF)
Incepted in 2009 and hosted by the Dean of HKUST School of Business and Management, the Global Leadership Forum (GLF) features distinguished business leaders to inspire young minds with profound global insights. As an exclusive enrichment event within GBUS, the Forum is held twice a year for our bright students to provide an ideal platform for them to exchange ideas with industry leaders, faculty members, and corporate mentors, to broaden their exposure to conducting business in the global environment, and to sharpen their critical thinking through informed viewpoints.
Corporate Capstone Project
GBUS sees the complex need for students in real-world experience. Innovativeness and creativity have to pair up with business challenges to lead to new ideas. To encourage students who are interested in strengthening and applying their knowledge and expertise in a global business setting, GBUS provides learning opportunities for our students with corporate projects that have specific time, budget, and design considerations. Students can also gain an insight into the operations and challenges of the organization. Our corporate partners can enjoy working with a group of highly motivated prospective employees.
Team Building Exercise
Together we can go further and achieve more. GBUS holds team building exercises for our Year 2 cohort to offer a meaningful opportunity for our students to develop proactive “can-do” attitudes by stretching out of their physical and mental comfort zones. Through various outdoor events, students will develop individual achievements through trust, mutual support, collaboration, and synergy among team members. They will build positive and effective interpersonal relationships by overcoming challenges within our GBUS community in their future years of success.
GBUS students engage in completely student-led initiative teams that are highly involved in the cohort community to sharpen their leadership skills and foster their team spirit. This program-student partnership is an innovative co-creation process that establishes a community of effective practice.
Development Team
As a young women leadership, governance, and international experiences advocate at the HKGGA, this project focuses on strategy for advocating Young Women Governance. Students helped to craft a 3-year strategy to increase HKGGA’s young women participation in governance, through understanding the existing landscape within and out of the HKGGA, with market research to investigate youth participation in governance.
With an aspiration to dedicate exclusively to shark conservation by raising awareness of the unsustainable practice of shark finning
and reducing consumption of shark products in Hong Kong, this project helps HKSF to identify and engage new funding opportunities through educational initiatives and expand educational and advocacy reach to a wider demographic in nearby regions within the Southeast Asia.
Empowering adults with learning disabilities through vocational education and social enterprises in Hong Kong is not easy. The group conducted case studies demonstrating a market gap and a future potential for the NGO to move on by developing directional strategies and possible outreach effort to suggested partners.
Brand awareness is one of the keys to success for NGOs. This project helps TFHK to identify issues and propose strong recommendations to further enhance programs that are in line with participants’ goals. Marketing approaches are recommended to enforce the organization’s value propositions among media.
