To ensure students satisfy the requirements of both programmes and successfully obtain two degrees, evaluation of the courses offered have been undergone to assess the content equivalence. A list of HKBU courses, including Business and General Education, recognized by KU is compiled. After transferring to KU, students must consult BBA Programme Office for course enrollment and report their study plan every semester, so as to fulfil the KU programme requirement. Students are also required to complete KU’s Diploma Workshop final exam.

My stay in Kozminski University, Poland was a totally life-changing experience. This programme provides me an opportunity to live independently in a culturally different place that was unfamiliar to me. I am glad to expand friendship with people from other continents. I appreciate the European culture of being productive yet still try to balance life and enjoy every sunset.
