Bernard Lun Pak-lam has been working at Cheung Kong Infrastructure Holdings for 11 years and is head of its China infrastructure division. He is responsible for the operational management and investment of infrastructure projects on the mainland.
His decision to enrol in PolyU's Master of Finance (Investment Management) programme was to enhance his knowledge.
Mr Lun said: 'I took the course together with my wife to share a common interest. She was [also] a PolyU graduate. The programme was well structured and enriched my overall knowledge. Additionally, the exposure to updated financial theories proved to be helpful and effective, especially in today's fast-evolving world of finance.'
By providing him insight and an understanding of investment management, Mr Lun found the programme to be useful as he was able to implement some of his newfound knowledge successfully in his daily life.
Covering a wide scope of topics, the course included sessions on updated financial practices, how to properly analyse and use risk assessment, and how to effectively formulate financial solutions or strategies into real-world scenarios. Moreover, he found that the intellectual capital gained helped to improve his decision-making and crisis-handling abilities.
The sacrifice of his leisure time while taking the course was mitigated by the benefits reaped.
