This field study enables students to visit a location of timely business value. The location is to be decided by the Programme Director with due consultation with PMC members and student representatives. The location may be any city/country in the world. Provided with highlights of the chosen location, its business environment, and background of the firms/organisations to be visited, participating students are required to produce both group and individual reports.

In the event that an overseas location is chosen for a particular cohort, a student who is not able to travel (due to an inability to secure a visa or for other justifiable reasons) may be allowed by the Programme Director to complete the Business Field Study in China. This will involve achieving the same four learning outcomes through an analysis of a Chinese business region, under the supervision of an HKBU instructor, visiting firms/organisations and writing the required two reports on an individual or small group basis.
