AN exhibition on overseas studies which highlighted Master of Business Administration (MBA) programmes was recently staged at the Hongkong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
The exhibition, organised by the School and College Services, is in its 10th year. It is aimed at giving visitors an opportunity to communicate with representatives from overseas colleges and get updated information on programme requirements.
A new feature was added to this year's exhibition. A section on the MBA programmes of more than 30 colleges was set up.
Ms Esther Hung Oi-san, a student counsellor of the School and College Services, explained why: ''As the Bachelor's degree is becoming more and more common, students are pursuing a higher degree.'' Well-known establishments for MBA studies represented at the exhibition included Canada's University of Western Ontario, the Aston Business School in the United Kingdom and the University of Sydney in Australia.
A total of 36 booths were set up, 10 by colleges in the United Kingdom and the others by schools in the United States, Canada, Switzerland, Australia and Hongkong. Most were tertiary institutes.
A newcomer to the exhibition was St George's School in Switzerland, a secondary boarding school for girls which adopts the British education system.
