The Division of Business and Management (DBM) initiated a two-day advanced financial management training course on 25 and 26 March, meeting the demand of the senior management of three enterprises from Zhongshan.
Dean of DBM Prof Stella Cho coordinated the course and the teaching team consisted of Dr Minyu Wu, Acting Director of the Finance Programme, Associate Professor Mr Joseph Liang and Assistant Professor Dr Darren Weng. Fifty-seven (57) top executives and financial professionals attended the lectures on the UIC campus and on UIC’s Research and Development Finance Training Centre in Hengqin.

At the completion ceremony, Prof Stella Cho said she believed the course would be helpful to the trainees for their management, investment and decision-making. “If we could extend the training time and specifically analyse the practical problems the companies have met, the teaching outcomes would be bolstered,” she added.
When asked why they chose this training programme, a representative from the trainees replied that they wanted to learn from UIC’s teachers who had an international perspective to gain new ways of thinking and apply these to their daily work.
The first advanced financial management training course was successfully concluded with a visit to the exhibition hall of the Hengqin New Area.
