Opening Message

Welcome and congratulations to all new students!

On behalf of all the staffs, I would like to welcome all of you, the future leaders and
economists. Admission to the Faculty of Economics and Administration (FEA) means you are
just a step away from your ambition and aspiration. We are thrilled to have you with us on
campus, and we are excited to help nurture your academic strengths, encourage your
personal growth, and inspire your creativity.

The Faculty's mission is to develop academic excellence in the field of economics and
administration. FEA was formed to promote and improve the economic knowledge and other
abilities that are important in the highly competitive world of today. FEA has established itself
as one of the leading economic faculties in the country and has produced many prominent
leaders such as state leaders, economists and academics who are world-class, and
responsible corporate citizens.

Program curriculum review is undertaken by the Faculty periodically, taking into
consideration the views of all important stakeholders to ensure that they remain
contemporary and meet the demands of the labor market. An inbound-outbound program has
also been introduced to give you the opportunity to experience varsity life in uniquely different
but exciting world class universities abroad.

There are countless ways for you to get involved and make connections with each other,
such as through research projects, student association, campus organizations, intervarsity
sports, volunteer work in our community, and much more. I encourage you to take advantage
of all that FEA has to offer during your time here.

The Faculty is staffed with some of the best academics in the fields of economics, public
administration, development studies and applied statistics. Many of them have secured
international research grants, consultancies, and have published in high impact journals. It is
the blend of academics of high calibre and diligent students that provided the critical but
constructive environment for engaging in scholarly discourse at the Faculty.

This handbook serves as a reference for academic information about the undergraduate
programs offered by the Faculty. It is a useful guide on the courses, rules and regulations as
well as on the modes of assessment and grading schemes. Please read it carefully and
observe the details of the structure of your chosen programme of study. It is our hope that
you will also enjoy the very congenial social environment that the Faculty offers.

I wish you all the best in your academic pursuits and hope that you will make the best use of
the opportunity to further enhance and enrich your knowledge and skills in making a
significant contribution to education provision and industry in the region
