Opening Message

Welcome and congratulations to all new postgraduates!

On behalf of all lecturers and staff, I want 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 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 arguably 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 postgraduate 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.
