Academic Advising
This page is to provide assistance and guidance to support BBA students. If you are an Acadmic Advisor, visit HERE.
To offer individual attention to students admitted through the School-based admission, the BBA Programme has introduced Academic Advising to assist our undergraduate students to make smooth transition from college to University and to choose a concentration that fits their interests and abilities.
Each student will be assigned a faculty member as Mentor in the 1st Semester of Year 1 and each concentration has appointed an academic advisor to provide advising related to the concentration from students' Year 2 studies. Moreover, BBA office organizes a series of activities aligning to the goals every academic year, including New Student Orientation, Concentration Briefing, Double Concentration Briefing, etc.
