Prof. Chen is full of confidence in FST’s future. “After we move onto the new campus, FST will have more labs and lab equipment, and this will provide favourable conditions for us to further enhance our teaching,” Prof. Chen says. “More space also means we will be able to recruit more high-quality, research-minded postgraduates to promote research development at the university.” Three bachelor’s degree programmes offered by FST have been recognised by the signatories to the Washington Accord. Graduates of the three programmes will be eligible to obtain professional qualifications in numerous signatories to the Washington Accord. They will also be eligible to become Corporate Member by participating in the engineering graduate training scheme “A” as a Graduate Member of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers. The Corporate Member can enjoy recognition under two international engineering agreements (the International Professional Engineers Agreement, and the APEC Engineer Agreement) and 22 qualification accreditation agreements. Graduates of the Faculty of Business Administration’s (FBA) Bachelor of Science (Accounting—Professional Accountancy) programme and Bachelor of Science (Accounting—Accounting and Information Management) programme can gain exemptions from CPA Australia’s examinations in some subjects. The Bachelor of Science (Accounting— Professional Accountancy) programme has also gained recognition from the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (HKICPA). Graduates of this programme can directly apply for professional qualification programmes. The Bachelor of Science in Finance programme has become the first programme in the Asia-Pacific region to be recognised under the University Recognition Program of CFA Institute, which is a world-renowned global association of investment professionals. This gives graduates of this programme a competitive edge as investment experts, scholars, and other members of the institute from around the world can see the recognition on the CFA Institute’s website. The fact that some of UM’s academic programmes have gained international recognition is of great significance. It shows that UM has reached international standards in some aspects of teaching. In addition to providing fresh momentum for the university to progress towards a world-class institution, it also proves that UM’s commitment to providing quality undergraduate education and building an outstanding faculty team is beginning to pay off. 課程獲國際承認 International Recognition of Academic Programmes
