On 14th November, 2025 Professor Stephen Chiu delivered a public lecture at the Admiralty campus of HKUSPACE. Entitled “From Private Troubles to Public Issues: A Sociologist's Journey Through Chinese Medicine in Hong Kong”, the lecture attracted about 60 social science students, in which he recounted his own research journey on the development of Chinese medicine in Hong Kong. Through the sharing, he illustrated how we could all exercise sociological imagination by linking up private troubles to public issues by locating social phenomenon in the intersection of individual biography, social structure and history. After the lecture, he also introduced Senior Year Entry programmes offered by the Department of Social Sciences and Policy Studies.
To enrich students' exposure to Chinese material culture and art appreciation, Bachelor of Social Sciences (Honours) in Sociology and Community Studies and Bachelor of Education (Honours) (Primary Humanities) Programme organized a visit to the exhibition "Tang Vogue Beyond the Horizons: A Golden Era of Multicultural Integration and Openness" at the Hong Kong Heritage Discovery Center on 24 November 2025.
2025年11月，作为唯一晋级全国总决赛的香港高等院校队伍，香港教育大学（教大）个人理财课程“企创衝衝冲”学生团队在“第叁届中国研究生企业管理创新大赛—企业决策赛道”中荣获全国一等奖。这一优异成绩不仅彰显了教大在商业与管理创新型人才培养方面的突出成果，也充分展现了个人理财课程学生同时具备“个人理财规划”与“企业经营及公司金融”的双重专业素养。
赛事回顾：全国顶尖的商业教育竞技舞臺
《中国研究生企业管理创新大赛》由中国教育部学位管理与研究生教育司指导，中国学位与研究生教育学会、中国科协青少年科技中心主办，全国工商管理专业学位研究生教育指导委员会联合承办。本次比赛，共有来自全国321家研究生培养单位的4176支队伍、超18000名师生参与，是一场规模宏大、竞争激烈的国家级商业竞赛。
《中国研究生企业管理创新大赛》决赛於2025年11月8日在中国贵阳东盟教育交流周永久会址拉开帷幕。在“企业决策赛道”决赛中，“企创衝衝衝”学生团队需要在企业经营类比系统中做出科学的商业决策。争分夺秒的赛场上，他们既要应对模拟市场瞬息万变的挑战，又要克服来自全国高校队伍的竞争压力，於激烈竞争中做出精准决策，化解各类模拟企业经营难题。团队成员凭藉出色的实战能力与企业决策水準，成功斩获第叁届全国研究生企业管理创新大赛全国总决赛一等奖。
除“企创衝衝衝”学生团队外，个人理财课程还有两支学生队伍参加了本次大赛的初赛，他们在初赛中的备赛努力亦值得肯定。
备战之路：成长与突破
在备赛过程中，学生们经历了一段充满挑战与收穫的成长旅程。团队成员们充分利用课馀时间，辛勤备战。从初期的案例分析、财务模型研究，到备赛工作坊，再到企业管理决策类比系统的实战，他们在实践中反複试错、优化方案，逐步建立起高效的决策流程，提升了应变和创新能力。备赛过程不仅提升了学生的专业技能，更凝聚了学生之间的团队合作精神。
教大个人理财课程为参赛学生提供了细緻的备赛指导。在準备过程中，学生们与资深培训师和课程导师深入交流，形成“和谐融洽、共同发展”的师生关係。此外，个人理财课程涵盖的金融市场与工具、量化分析、理财决策等内容，也为学生提供了坚实的学术基础；同学们灵活运用课堂所学，最终在比赛中夺下可喜战果。
“企创衝衝衝”队长杨尚林同学提到：“这次比赛能获得全国一等奖的战果，离不开组员们数个日夜的摸索，也离不开个人理财课程对我们参赛的支持。课程为我们组织的工作坊、类比比赛。课程老师们的悉心指导，让我们获益匪浅。”
各支初赛队伍赛前紧张备战，学习企业类比决策的战略与资料分析技能
个人理财“微證书模组”提升学生商业决策能力
值得一提的是，教大个人理财教育文学硕士课程在2025/26学年推出了“微證书模组”，其中包括《企业经营战略决策类比训练》模组。该模组与本次大赛的“企业决策”主题高度契合，为学生提供备赛辅助；此外，该模组重点训练学生基於资料处理的商业决策能力，将有助学生将来迈向真实的商业职场环境。
未来展望：以商业实践为径，迈向更高峰
本届比赛中，个人理财学生团队凭出色表现载誉而归，充分展示了个人理财课程学生解决複杂商业问题的能力。学生们在模拟企业经营中学会应变、合作与创新，为未来踏入商业舞臺积累了宝贵经验。教大个人理财课程将继续激励更多学生走出课堂，勇於挑战自我，在未来的商业世界中不断突破、闯出未来。
