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.
