In conjunction with the Department’s Internship Programme, the CAP aims to help students pinpoint their strengths and weaknesses in terms of interview/CV writing skills and better prepare students to seize career opportunities readily.
Besides one-to-one career consultation, the CAP will organise other career-related activities to deepen students’ understanding of the industries. The following is a non-exhaustive list of services and activities provided under the CAP:
Tailored consultation on CV and cover letter writing
One-to-one or group consultation on interview skills, e.g. mock interview
Tailored modules of Professional Preparation Programme (PPP) (in collaboration with CEDARS)
Career talks
Company visits
Alumni sharing
The services and activities are completely funded by the Department for its students exclusively. Places will be subject to availability on a first come, first served basis.

Cancellation Policy
Students may wish to know that the Department pays for the above consultation services, which is especially hired in the interests of students. The Department hopes that students will make the most of the CAP and keep ahead in career developments. It has come to the Department’s attention that some students registered for the events but did not turn up. Some students notified the department in short notice, whilst some did not bother to do so.
In this regard, we have a Cancellation Policy for departmental career-related events. Please read the policy very carefully for your own benefit.
Please understand that our teachers and staff work very hard to liaise with different parties in order to organize experiential events for students. Although all of us are extremely busy for our teaching, research and administrative duties, we put a lot of time and resources to reach out and prepare the activities for the sake of students. If anyone might not be able to attend the event, he/she should have informed the Department earlier, so that valuable resources would not be wasted.
Lastly, we hope you all understand that the purpose of the cancellation policy was NOT to penalize anyone, but to prevent resources being wasted and to allow us help those interested students who are eager and determined to succeed in their future careers.
