Community Bonding

"Community bonding" is not something you lose when you say goodbye to your classmates on the Graduation Ceremony. Community bonding is the enduring feeling of shared values and intellectual standards, of mutual respect, and of common experience that makes our alumni network so strong.

When you have enrolled with us, you are joining a community:

• You get to meet and interact with fellow students, graduates, instructors and also industry people.
   

• You will be engaged in projects, where you will get to know your fellow students, pool your skills together to turn in good work, learn about their jobs and their perspectives on the topics inside and outside the modules.
   

• You can also join the Alumni Association as an associate member and take part in their social and academic activities, learn from them the tactics of more effective studying, and even get some of them to be your mentors.
   

• You are treated as a mature responsible professional by our instructors, and are welcome to volunteer your opinion on many of the topics taught, using your own experience and business perspectives.
   

• You can listen to business and industry experts invited to speak to you in class or in seminars or forums specially arranged by the Programme Office or the Alumni Association.
   

• To broaden your outlook, so that you don't feel that you are learning from books and set topics, the Programme Office will bring to your attention any worthwhile and interesting events in Hong Kong or the University, and our instructors will also share with you their other expertise besides what you are learning from them as module topics.
   

• After you graduate, you are not forgotten. By becoming a member of the Alumni Association, you continue to enjoy lots of benefits provided by the Association and by the Programme Office. For example, the Alumni Association has a career page, where interesting and exciting jobs will be advertised there. If the Programme Office runs new modules, you can come in to study at a terrific discount.
   

• When you join the Programme, you are actually joining a lifelong community, where you can continue to keep in touch with your fellow students, keep abreast with developing technologies and business trends.
  

Message from MEICOM President I joined the MSc in Electronic Commerce and Internet Computing (MEICOM) Alumni Association committee in 2004 and was appointed as the president of the Alumni Association early this year. I applied for the programme as early as 1999 when it was first launched. However I didn't succeed until 2003. After I started my MEICOM life and joined the alumni, I then realized that most of the students enrolled in 1999 were of high caliber. They are senior executives of multi-national organizations such as Head of IT, marketing director, entrepreneur. Nowadays, many of them are still actively participating in our alumni activities. This master programme will not only enrich your professional knowledge but also widen your social network. Through joining the alumni activities, you can meet professionals with different backgrounds and working experience. Over the past few years, the MEICOM alumni association has grown into an organisation to be proud of. We have formed networks with fellow alumni through regular social gatherings. If you are interested in becoming a member of our association, we invite you to attend one of our monthly activities to find out more from us. Look forward to meeting you soon!
