Stirling students pay flying visit to airline HQ in Hong Kong
University of Stirling students in Hong Kong were invited to visit Cathay Pacific’s cargo terminal as part of their Management and Marketing undergraduate programmes.
The students are studying for a BSc (Hons) in Management or a BA (Hons) in Marketing as part of a partnership between the University and Lingnan Institute of Further Education in Hong Kong.
They visited the airline’s cargo facility to see first-hand how supply chains work in practice, as part of the 'supply chain management' module from both degrees.
Professor David Mackay said: 'Cathay Pacific is a Hong Kong-headquartered, highly regarded multi-national operation of significant scale.'
'We are delighted that the students had the opportunity to witness their facilities and processes first-hand. This sort of activity gives students a real appreciation of the challenges and benefits of effective supply chain management.'
