Programme Description

The Bachelor of Business Administration (Hons) Programme (Information Systems and e-Business Management Concentration) provides students with a broad and practical knowledge of electronic business management, data science and artificial intelligence, and information systems auditing to meet the changing needs of a services-led and knowledge-based economy.


Unique Features

  • The ISEM Concentration provides students with the knowledge and skills to be a trouble-shooter, a practical problem-solver, and an effective communicator liaising with e-business and information technology professionals and end-users to solve management problems.
  • Courses related to data science and artificial intelligence will equip students with managerial and technical skills to leverage and process information and data resources of an organization for business insights and decision makings.
  • Information systems auditing courses will equip students with necessary knowledge in assisting organizations to solve the problems in organisational governance and IT security triggered by the headline-grabbing financial scandals and IT fraudulent cases of recent years.
  • Affiliated with the China Hong Kong Chapter of ISACA, our Hong Kong Baptist University ISACA Student Group (HKBUISG) provides students with an education on IS Audit and Assurance, Security and IT Governance disciplines as well as a connection with local practitioners.
  • Professional recognition is available from Information Systems Auditing and Control Association (ISACA), Hong Kong Computing Society (HKCS), The Hong Kong Institute of Company Secretaries (HKICS) and The Institute of Chartered Secretaries & Administrators (ICSA), International Institute of Management (IIM), and Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM).
  • Students can pursue additional graduation options including Double Concentration within BBA, or a Minor in non-business discipline.

Remarks

1)# As the 2019/20 Academic Year is the start of the 2019-2022 triennium for which UGC-funded programmes are still subject to the Government's and the Legislative Council's approval, the number of student intake places shown in this web page is indicative only and subject to change or confirmation at a later date.

2) Students may have the option of taking an integrated programme by extending their undergraduate study by one year, leading to the award of a bachelor's degree in that Major plus a Diploma in Education.

3) ^Subject to annual review and University's approval.

For 2019 entry, the JS2170 Programme will consider Extended Part of Mathematics (Module 1 or 2) as unspecified elective subject in meeting the entrance requirements and as a whole subject in score calculation.

The Programme will not consider any Applied Learning Subjects as an unspecified elective subject.

The Programme will consider grade E or above in Other Language subjects as unspecified elective subject.

In general, the scores for the Other Language Subjects (Category C) are converted as follows:

A=5**, B=5*, C=5, D=4, E=3

  1. Upon score calculation and compilation of interview results (if any), eligible applicants will be given a rank in the Merit Order List to the JUPAS Office. The Merit Order List will be generated according to the priority given to the list of Tie-breakers. During the admissions process, the following are the most commonly used tie-breakers by the programmes offered by the University.

    Tie-breakers Remarks

    e.g.: 4 core subjects + 1 best/specified elective or 2 best/specified electives
    Interview Performance Applicable to School Principal's nominees / applicants with a disability / OEA applicants / regular applicants with interview
    Band Band A applicants will be ranked first then Band B, and so on.
    A (Prog. Choice 1 - 3) >
    B (Prog. Choice 4 - 6) >
    C (Prog. Choice 7 - 10) >
    D (Prog. Choice 11 - 15) >
    E (Prog. Choice 16 - 20)
    HKDSE English Score Take the best score of HKDSE English Language Result
    HKDSE Standard Score + 1 best X Sum of scores for 4 core subjects plus 1 best/specified elective subject (Category A)
     
  2. If a programme ranks the tie-breakers as: '1' to 'HKDSE Academic Score', '2' to 'Band', '3' to 'HKDSE Standard + 1 best X Subject Score', applicants with highest HKDSE Academic Score will be ranked first. If there are two applicants having the same HKDSE Academic Score, the one who places the programme in a higher band choice will be ranked higher. If the two applicants are the same on the first 2 tie-breakers, their HKDSE Standard + 1 best X Subject Score will be compared, the one with higher HKDSE Standard + 1 best X Subject Score will be given a higher rank, and so on.

 

 

Note:

As programmes select students not only on the basis of the HKDSE results, the actual results of the students admitted to each programme may vary from year to year (depending on the overall results achieved by applicants in a particular year, the number of applicants applying to the programme, changes in selection criteria, etc.). Please be reminded that information listed above is for reference ONLY and is subject to change, and should NOT be used to predict the chance of admission to any programme.
