Biz Sense is now open for registration for its seven-week "Business and Career Exploration Program: IGNITE". Organised b the student group Biz Sense, this programme aims to help secondary school students explore business and economics, their future career prospects, and clarify their career paths.

Biz Sense is an organisation founded by a group of business-enthusiastic university students. Members come from the Department of Global Business, the Department of Finance, and the Department of Economics and Finance at its three business schools. They are dedicated to promoting business knowledge and empowering students interested in business through Instagram content creation and workshops. To date, they have successfully held over 15 workshops, covering both subsidised and Direct Subsidy Schools in Hong Kong and Macau, and have benefited from Biz Sense's services to over 1,000 students. 

Eligibility criteria:

Participants must be Secondary 3 - Secondary 5 students in the 2025-2026 academic year. As the course is conducted in Cantonese, all students are required to be proficient in Cantonese.
