As shown in the recent Global University Employability Ranking published by Times Higher Education (THE), CityU has jumped to the 138th place in 2016, from 145th in 2015 and 146th in 2014, indicating constant improvement in the competitiveness of CityU graduates in the job market. At the same time, Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) ranked CityU in the Top 300 in terms of graduate employability – only 3 local universities have made this far!

CityU students’ competitiveness is widely recognised by employers. Their performance at work may be best captured by this quote from Mr. Keith Choy, Regional President, APAC at Pfizer Consumer Healthcare: “As an employer, I am truly impressed by the work attitude of employees from CityU. They are dedicated, proactive as well as independent, and always demonstrate strong problem-solving skills.” Mr. Choy applauded CityU’s efforts in facilitating student development and would continue to support various career-related initiatives by CityU.

In addition to the excellent quality of teaching, the Career and Leadership Centre (CLC) of CityU has also launched a series of Employability Enhancement Initiatives with an objective to guide students in achieving their career aspirations and success. Some of its notable initiatives are Global Work Attachment Programme, Executive Mentoring Programme and CityU Employers’ Luncheon. CityU will continue to offer quality education that prepares its students for the exciting opportunities available in Hong Kong and throughout the world!
