The Belt and Road initiative and planned economic developments in the Greater Bay Area are in the spotlight in Hong Kong and have attracted the interest of investors around the world. Businesses and governments can see the potential, with many already indicating they are keen to take part in upcoming projects.

However, there are also new opportunities for universities and other educational institutes, which are proactively stepping up related research efforts and introducing programmes to offer training and insights for professionals and academics looking to specialise in this area.

In 2018, Lingnan University has launched the new Master of Science in International and Development Economics (MIDE). It is the first such master’s programme in Hong Kong taught mainly in Putonghua and focuses on the Belt and Road initiative and economic development in the Greater Bay Area of South China.

The course is available in two modes - one-year, full-time or two-year, part-time - and is designed to give students interdisciplinary training in global economics and finance, while also allowing them to explore particular subject interests and deepen their understandings of the economic, financial, social, political and environmental impacts of the development policies of the Belt and Road and the Greater Bay Area from different perspectives.

To align with the development of the country, local governments have actively introduced various preferential policies. Many business managers are interested in grasping the opportunities incurred from the Belt and Road Initiatives and the Greater Bay Area, but due to their lack of backgrounds in economics, international politics and international relations, they may not be able to fully grasp the opportunities. Hence, our MIDE programme covers multiple disciplines and helps groom our students to be analytical thinkers to analyse problems from a global perspective. In addition, the curriculum is complemented with experiential learning and extracurricular experiences to provide students with a broader comparative and international perspective, enabling them to gather first-hand experience related to development issues and prepare them for participation in the major economic developments of these countries.
