# General Education course:
Students should take General Education courses from fields of study which are different from those of their programmes.
Being able to work effectively with foreigners and foreign organisations has become a very important contributor to career success in the internationalised economy. The Undergraduate Global Immersion Programme (UG-GIP) is designed to support B&A students in developing their potential in the internationalised environment. UG-GIP aims to instill in students a deeper understanding of a foreign culture and its society and environment, and expose students to a broader overview and understanding of international business.
UG-GIP comprises four non-credit bearing courses: GIP 100BEF (Year 1), GIP 200BEF (Year 2), GIP 300BEF (Year 3)*, and GIP 400BEF (Year 4). These courses are designed to enhance students' intercultural awareness and communication skills and help students to develop a global mindset.
*GIP 300BEF includes a study tour. Students are responsible for incidental expenses such as airfare and accommodation.
Graduates can develop their career in different tourism and hotel sectors. They can choose to serve either profit or non-profit organisations in the capacity of, for example, professional ecotourism resort hotel managers, ecotourism holiday planners or tourism environmental education officers.
Opportunities are available for the graduates of this programme to pursue postgraduate studies in Hong Kong and abroad. Students may continue to study for a master's degree in tourism-related areas such as MICE, hotel, tourism marketing or real estate management; or other master's degrees in business-related areas.
