Introduction to the Bachelor of Business Administration (Information Systems) [BBA(IS)] Programme

The Bachelor of Business Administration (Information Systems) [BBA(IS)] programme is designed to provide students with a unique edge in the IT world by offering training in both business administration and information technology. This programme is jointly offered by the HKU Business School and the Department of Computer Science, consisting of a mixture of business and computer science courses.

Programme Structure

In the first four years, students pursue a BBA(IS) degree with a double major in Information Systems and Computer Science. Students of the BBA(IS) programme are required to complete 240 credit units for the 4-year curriculum. Graduates of the programme may also choose to undertake one more year of study to complete the degree of Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science [BEng(CS)] in the Faculty of Engineering.

Programme Accreditation and Alignment

The BBA(IS)/BEng(CS) programme is accredited by the Hong Kong Institute of Engineers. The BBA(IS) programme also aligns with the ISACA Model Curriculum for IS Audit and Control, 3rd Edition.

Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science Awarded in Conjunction with Bachelor of Business Administration (Information Systems) [BEng(CS)]

The Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science [BEng(CS)] degree can be awarded in conjunction with the Bachelor of Business Administration (Information Systems) [BBA(IS)] for students who choose to undertake an additional year of study.

Fifth Year of the Double-Degree Programme

The fifth year of this double-degree programme operates on a self-financing basis, and the fees are therefore slightly higher than the usual undergraduate fees. Those requiring financial assistance can apply for non-means tested loans, repayable at an interest rate to be determined by the Government.
