Achievement - Lingnan University (RIM Programme) has been designated as Global Centers of Insurance Excellence (GCIE)

 
Lingnan University (RIM Programme) has been designated as Global Centers of Insurance Excellence (GCIE) in 2018, by the International Insurance Society (IIS).
“The GCIE award is the first received by a Hong Kong university. I think it is an important achievement as it shows the development in the Hong Kong insurance education, following the funding that we received to develop insurance education five years ago. We now have a stronger faculty and a better programme to train students,” said Dr Yick Ho-yin, Assistant Professor of Teaching, Department of Finance & Insurance, Lingnan University, one of the 2018 GCIEs. - Abstracted from GIF Daily - IIS recognises nine universities as Global Centres of Insurance Excellence (Published by Asia Insurance Review), 10 July 2018
