Programme Characteristics

The LMS has launched the BBA (Hons) Scheme in Global Business and Logistics, Aviation, Maritime and Supply Chain Management (the Scheme) since the 2022/23 intake cohort. All students admitted to the Scheme will follow the same progression pattern for their first year of studies. Starting from the 2023/24 intake cohort, students can opt for the dual degree programme, offered in collaboration with Copenhagen Business School (CBS) offered under the Scheme normally after their Year 1 studies.

Upon satisfactory completion of the dual degree programme with CBS, students will be granted two awards:

Programme Aims & Learning Outcomes

The Dual Degree Programme combines the strengths of the BBA in Global Business and Logistics with the BSc in International Business, offering a comprehensive education in international trade, supply chain management, and global business strategies. This programme equips students with critical skills in cross-cultural management, global marketing, and sustainable supply chain practices, alongside a deep understanding of the economic, cultural, and political factors influencing global business. Through theoretical studies, practical applications, and international exposure, graduates are prepared for successful careers in multinational corporations, logistics, consulting firms, and international organisations.

Copenhagen Business School (CBS) was established in 1917 by the Danish Society for the Advancement of Business Education and Research. Today, with 20,000 students and 1,500 employees, CBS is one of the largest business schools in Europe and one of the 8 Danish universities. It offers a wide range of undergraduate and graduate programmes within business, typically with an interdisciplinary and international focus. CBS is accredited by EQUIS (European Quality Improvement System), AMBA (Association of MBAs), as well as AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business), thus making it one of the few schools worldwide to hold the triple-crown accreditation.

Students admitted to the programme will spend the first two years at PolyU, then final two years at CBS. Upon completion of the programme, students will be awarded two degrees in business, BBA (Hons) in Global Business and Logistics from PolyU, and BSc in International Business from CBS.

The decision to admit a student to this dual degree will be made by the department based on the student’s choice, overall GPA of year one study, and/or other criteria set out by the department. Students will be invite to opt for this dual degree option during the semester 2 (probably before final examination) of their Year One study for the department’s consideration and approval. Priority will be given to students admitted via JUPAS with outstanding HKDSE scores, i.e., 25 or above in any best 5 subjects (click here for an explanation).

Work-Integrated Education (WIE)

To graduate, every student must complete 100 hours (3 training credits) of WIE. The Department has developed opportunities for students to work in firms either during the summer vacation or as part-timers. Summer placements may be found in Hong Kong, the Chinese mainland or overseas. These, and other forms of work experience, can count towards the WIE requirement.
