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，作為唯一晉級全國總決賽的香港高等院校隊伍，香港教育大學（教大）個人理財課程“企創衝衝沖”學生團隊在“第三屆中國研究生企業管理創新大賽—企業決策賽道”中榮獲全國一等獎。這一優異成績不僅彰顯了教大在商業與管理創新型人才培養方面的突出成果，也充分展現了個人理財課程學生同時具備“個人理財規劃”與“企業經營及公司金融”的雙重專業素養。
賽事回顧：全國頂尖的商業教育競技舞臺
《中國研究生企業管理創新大賽》由中國教育部學位管理與研究生教育司指導，中國學位與研究生教育學會、中國科協青少年科技中心主辦，全國工商管理專業學位研究生教育指導委員會聯合承辦。本次比賽，共有來自全國321家研究生培養單位的4176支隊伍、超18000名師生參與，是一場規模宏大、競爭激烈的國家級商業競賽。
《中國研究生企業管理創新大賽》決賽於2025年11月8日在中國貴陽東盟教育交流周永久會址拉開帷幕。在“企業決策賽道”決賽中，“企創衝衝衝”學生團隊需要在企業經營類比系統中做出科學的商業決策。爭分奪秒的賽場上，他們既要應對模擬市場瞬息萬變的挑戰，又要克服來自全國高校隊伍的競爭壓力，於激烈競爭中做出精准決策，化解各類模擬企業經營難題。團隊成員憑藉出色的實戰能力與企業決策水準，成功斬獲第三屆全國研究生企業管理創新大賽全國總決賽一等獎。
除“企創衝衝衝”學生團隊外，個人理財課程還有兩支學生隊伍參加了本次大賽的初賽，他們在初賽中的備賽努力亦值得肯定。
備戰之路：成長與突破
在備賽過程中，學生們經歷了一段充滿挑戰與收穫的成長旅程。團隊成員們充分利用課餘時間，辛勤備戰。從初期的案例分析、財務模型研究，到備賽工作坊，再到企業管理決策類比系統的實戰，他們在實踐中反複試錯、優化方案，逐步建立起高效的決策流程，提升了應變和創新能力。備賽過程不僅提升了學生的專業技能，更凝聚了學生之間的團隊合作精神。
教大個人理財課程為參賽學生提供了細緻的備賽指導。在準備過程中，學生們與資深培訓師和課程導師深入交流，形成“和諧融洽、共同發展”的師生關係。此外，個人理財課程涵蓋的金融市場與工具、量化分析、理財決策等內容，也為學生提供了堅實的學術基礎；同學們靈活運用課堂所學，最終在比賽中奪下可喜戰果。
“企創衝衝衝”隊長楊尚林同學提到：“這次比賽能獲得全國一等獎的戰果，離不開組員們數個日夜的摸索，也離不開個人理財課程對我們參賽的支持。課程為我們組織的工作坊、類比比賽。課程老師們的悉心指導，讓我們獲益匪淺。”

個人理財“微證書模組”提升學生商業決策能力
值得一提的是，教大個人理財教育文學碩士課程在2025/26學年推出了“微證書模組”，其中包括《企業經營戰略決策類比訓練》模組。該模組與本次大賽的“企業決策”主題高度契合，為學生提供備賽輔助；此外，該模組重點訓練學生基於資料處理的商業決策能力，將有助學生將來邁向真實的商業職場環境。
未來展望：以商業實踐為徑，邁向更高峰
本屆比賽中，個人理財學生團隊憑出色表現載譽而歸，充分展示了個人理財課程學生解決複雜商業問題的能力。學生們在模擬企業經營中學會應變、合作與創新，為未來踏入商業舞臺積累了寶貴經驗。教大個人理財課程將繼續激勵更多學生走出課堂，勇於挑戰自我，在未來的商業世界中不斷突破、闖出未來。
