Normally working in small groups across the FBA’s disciplines, and sometimes individually, our students join regional or global competitions and have achieved great success in some highly competitive challenges against leading business schools and universities. With the support of the departments, the FBA provides supervision and mentoring to the students, including the FBA’s and other faculties, in 10 different competitions (see below). Comparing to 2019/20, this represents a 67% increase in the number.
In addition, the FBA has organised several student competitions and activities in 2020/21. The Tourism, Convention and Hospitality Society (our student association) organised the ‘The 4th World Tourism Cup – Tourism Knowledge Competition’ on 16 April 2021. A large group of the FBA’s students, led by Prof. Yeongbae Choe, organised a series of events on the UM Open Day on 17 January 2021. These events showcased our talented students and hardware (e.g., MICE lab, Gaming lab, Mock hotel room, Cafe Lab, and Hospitality Lab).
