Overview

The responsibility of corporate governance rests with the company’s board of directors and corporate officers. Through providing guidance to the board on various corporate governance issues, corporate governance professionals play important roles in guiding, administering and reviewing the board’s performance to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.

Objectives

The Corporate Governance and Compliance (Hons) programme from The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong (HSUHK) aims at providing students with necessary knowledge in corporate governance so that graduates are capable of performing the advisory role to the board on corporate governance issues, and are prepared for their career development as corporate governance professionals.

Upon completion of the Programme, graduates would develop an understanding of the laws and regulations in corporate governance and recognise best practices for the purpose of regulatory compliance. They would be able to integrate and apply knowledge of good corporate governance practices and help to execute a regulatory system in support of board functions. Also, it is expected that they can identify the roles and responsibilities of corporate officers and perform with a sense of ethicality and professionalism.

Career Opportunities

The Programme has been designed to provide broad-based, multi-disciplinary and integrated professional training with a focus on corporate governance practices. This will enable graduates to:

seek employment in related fields, including company secretaries, corporate administrators, compliance officers, management trainees or accountants;
commence their own businesses by exercising good corporate governance practices and ethics in their entrepreneurship;
take professional qualification examinations leading to chartered secretaries or certified/chartered accountants; or
