摘要：

In this seminar I will introduce the City University of Hong Kong and in particular the five MSc programmes that we offer in the Dept of Information Systems. My purpose is to seek highly qualified and motivated applicants. The five programmes are:

Business Information Systems (for students with an IS/technical background) who wish to pursue technical skills in greater depth, particularly in FinTech. Business Information Systems (for students with a non-technical background) who wish to learn the basics of Information Systems for application in organisations Electronic Business and Knowledge Management (for students with any background) who wish to acquire general skills in EB & KM for application in organisations Electronic Commerce (for students with a strong IS/CS/Englineering background) who wish to focus on the technical aspects of EC Information Systems Management (for students with an IS background) who wish to acequire more skills/knowledge in the management of the technology. We also have a PhD programme that can be adapted to all areas of enquiry in the broad Information Systems arena. I will present information about career opportunities in Hong Kong as well as globally. I will draw on the career trajectories of past graduates to indicate some of the likely directions. I also introduce visa requirements and working opportunities in Hong Kong.
