Globalisation is a series of processes. We are being part of it and being unprecedentedly interconnected. As same as studying in the MAGS, it provided us with a platform to experience the process. Which, MAGS enabled us to cognise the ubiquitous existence of politics and global society around us, by connecting worldwide renowned professors and miscellaneous classmates, exchanging different perspectives, and unlocking our skillsets to experience it. During the Pandemic, MAGS has provided us with a range of supports and assistance, which enabled us to continue our studies. It's been quite a journey this year !

Graduate of 2019
Breaking through a bottleneck in my career is one of the greatest challenges I faced. After 5 years in the workforce, I realized the importance of continuing to enhance my theoretical and practical skills. The MAGS programme offered me such an opportunity to refresh and to consolidate my knowledge. I selected global political economy as my concentration, which students can better understand the global market from economic and political perspective. The courses provided a framework for me to improve skill set such as critical thinking. The extra-curricular activities also brought huge benefit to my personal development. Thanks to the excellent education at HKBU, I was able to secure a job in a listed company in Hong Kong right after my graduation. MAGS is definitely one of the best decision I made.

Career advancement maybe one of the reasons why students enter master's programmes. My initiation into the MAGS programme was different. It offered me an opportunity to pause and to rethink my life plans. The courses provided a solid foundation for me to understand the globalized world and myself better. I was encouraged to think about how various concepts and models of Global Studies can be applied in the real-life scenarios. Professors are passionate about their teaching and their students' achievement. I was motivated to contribute to my personal development as well as to fulfill my potential. In a nutshell, the MAGS programme is one of the best things that has happened in my life!
