More than 400 students in candidacy have taken part in the interviews for 2008 Fudan University-The University of Hong Kong IMBA Program, which were held on March 22 and April 5 separately in Fudan’s School of Management.

School officials said that, the enrolling decisions is expected to be publicized later this month.

The bilingual interviews, in both English and Chinese, were deemed to pick up higher-caliber students for the program who go with better development potentials. Group interviews and individual interviews were adopted to test them from perspectives of English reading and speaking abilities, communication and teamwork spirits, as well as analytical and logical thinking skills.

Joining the faculty members who are from those two prestigious universities having acted to examine the interviewees face to face, were some of the Fudan-HKU program alumni members, whose experience is believed to benefit the process of choosing students for the program.

One of the alumni-and-interviewers concluded his interview by saying that: “What really impressed me is that those candidate students come from a broader background than ever, beyond management focuses and marketing or accounting occupations that we’ve commonly seen.

“Different students with different backgrounds are helping to bring a dynamic breath into the program study,” it was added.
