The Bachelor of Science in Environment and Sustainable Business is a four-year undergraduate programme that is jointly offered by the School of Energy and Environment (SEE) and the College of Business (CB). The programme is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the principles and practices of sustainable business and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG), and their integration in the business world.

By the end of the programme, students will have a comprehensive understanding of sustainable business and ESG, and be able to apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios. They will also have a solid foundation in the science behind non-financial disclosures, and be familiar with the latest trends and technologies in sustainable energy and other fields in support of investment decision-making for sustainable finance.

The programme will be taught through a combination of lectures, case studies, and interactive discussions, and will feature experiential learning and industry connection via experts sharing (e.g., in guest lectures) from practitioners of leading organizations in Hong Kong. Students will have the opportunity to engage with real-world sustainable business/finance projects and develop practical skills in sustainability assessment, ESG integration, and impact investing. Students will also have a comprehensive understanding of sustainability in practice and ESG challenges and opportunities, and be prepared to pursue careers in this rapidly growing field.

The rationale for starting a new 4-year undergraduate programme in Environment and Sustainable Business is to meet the growing demand for professionals who can integrate ESG considerations into business, finance, and investment decisions. This demand is driven by the recognition that ESG factors are critical to long-term financial performance, and is reflected in the increasing popularity of sustainable investing and the growth of the sustainable finance industry. Hong Kong is well-positioned to take advantage of this growing demand, given its strategic location as a major financial hub and center for international trade and finance.

CityUHK Talents Programme

As the demand for professionals with expertise in environmental engineering, green finance, and Environment Social Governance (ESG) continues to rise, it has become increasingly apparent that there is a shortage of local financial professionals with expertise in ESG, as noted in the Chief Executive’s 2022 Policy Address.  Given Hong Kong’s strength as an international financial centre, it is imperative to further establish its status as a preferred ESG investment hub. Investors will likely shift their priority to companies with high ESG performance and commitment towards the carbon neutrality target. Moreover, areas like green finance and carbon emission trading are gaining importance in the financial field.

In response to the aforesaid developments, the School of Energy and Environment is proud to offer, in collaboration with the Department of Economics and Finance, a new double degree programme, the Bachelor of Engineering in Environmental Science and Engineering and Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance.

Through this double degree programme, students will receive a rigorous and comprehensive education in both environmental engineering and finance.  They will acquire the necessary skills and knowledge to address the challenges of sustainable finance, not just in Hong Kong but also in the global context.  By bridging the gap between these two fields, graduates of this programme will be well-prepared to tackle complex sustainability issues from a multidisciplinary perspective.

The programme adopts an integrated curriculum combining the essence of the two degrees.  Students will enroll in courses primarily offered by SEE and EF to complete a minimum requirement of 153 credit units in five years.

For details, please refer to the page at the following link: 
https://www.cityu.edu.hk/see/programmes/undergraduate-programmes/BEngEVEBBAFIN 

The programme is designed to meet the unique needs of Hong Kong’s environmental and business landscape, and to prepare students for Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG)-related careers in the region.  The programme objectives are:

1. To provide students with a solid foundation in environmental engineering, economics, and finance, and to develop their knowledge and skills in climate change, social responsibility, and sustainable development;

2. To equip students with the technical and analytical skills to assess environmental risks and opportunities, conduct ESG audits, and design and implement ESG strategies in various industries and sectors, such as energy, manufacturing, finance, and consulting;

3. To develop students’ leadership and communication skills, enabling them to engage stakeholders and communicate effectively about sustainability issues, and to work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams to achieve Carbon Neutrality goals;

4. To foster students’ ethical and professional values, including integrity, transparency, and accountability, and to prepare them to address the complex ethical dilemmas and conflicts that arise in ESG-related work;

5. To promote students’ global awareness and cultural competence, encouraging them to engage in international sustainable finance and environmental engineering initiatives and to work across borders and cultures to promote sustainability and social justice; and

6. To prepare students for lifelong learning and professional development, providing them with the tools and resources to stay up-to-date with the latest ESG trends, innovations, and best practices, and to pursue further education or professional certifications as needed.

Integrated Enrichment Programme comprises a wide range of co-curricular activities and training that are tailored for SEE undergraduate students. Through the Programme, students will be exposed to not only summer programme and regular student exchange, but also industry-ready internship, professional training in leadership, presentation skills, business etiquette, business communication, and so on.
