While most Hong Kong universities have their economics departments housed within the business schools, economics is positioned as a social science at CUHK. This structure makes it clear that economics is not just about applying the theories in business, but can be applied in numerous contexts.

The Economics programme has a dedicated career officer to support the students’ career developments. The Hong Kong Trade Development Council and the Census and Statistics Department of the HKSAR Government offer internships exclusively to CUHK economics majors. The programme is also in partnership with three prestigious European universities—Utrecht University in the Netherlands, Universität Mannheim in Germany and University of Bath in the UK — in organizing exchange programmes.
