BBA (Hons) in International Shipping and Transport Logistics
This programme provides a well-rounded business education, as well as the opportunity to specialise in international shipping and logistics management. It enables students to acquire broad knowledge in maritime transport and logistics within a general broad framework of international transport and trade.

The programme promotes the acquisition of strong management skills in areas such as communication and presentation, leadership and teamwork, problem-solving, and effective use of information technology.

BBA (Hons) in Supply Chain Management and Analytics

Dual Degree with the Copenhagen Business School, Denmark
BBA (Hons) in Global Business and Logistics [PolyU]
BSc in International Business [CBS]
The Dual Degree programme combines the strengths of the BBA in Global Business and Logistics with the BSc in International Business, providing a comprehensive education in international trade, supply chain management, and global business strategies. This programme equips students with essential skills in cross-cultural management, global marketing, and sustainable supply chain practices, as well as a deep understanding of the economic, cultural, and political factors that influence global business. Through theoretical studies, practical applications, and international exposure, graduates are prepared for successful careers in multinational corporations, logistics, consulting firms, and international organisations.

The Copenhagen Business School (CBS) was established in 1917 by the Danish Society for the Advancement of Business Education and Research. Today, with 20,000 students and 1,500 employees, CBS is one of the largest business schools in Europe and one of 8 Danish universities. It offers a wide range of undergraduate and graduate programmes in business, typically with an interdisciplinary and international focus. CBS is accredited by EQUIS (European Quality Improvement System), AMBA (Association of MBAs), as well as AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business), making it one of the few schools in the world to hold triple accreditation.

Students admitted to the programme will spend the first two years at PolyU, then final two years at CBS. Upon completion of the programme, students will be awarded two degrees in business, BBA (Hons) in Global Business and Logistics from PolyU, and BSc in International Business from CBS.

All admitted students embark on a Common Year One curriculum. Towards the end of year one, students can decide whether to continue with their initial choice or switch to another choice within the Faculty. Those who wish to change to another choice need to join a competitive process through a ranking assessment, which considers a combination of entrance qualification score, Year One GPA, and interview performance.

  • All students must complete a short work placement, either in the summer or during semester time. The Department provides assistance in finding suitable placements.
