Hong Kong University (HKU) is ranked the number one university in Asia and the HKU MBA part time program bears similar accolades with The Economist ranking it the number one MBA program in Asia for the fourth consecutive year. With a part-time MBA course through HKU, students benefit from being able to continue their careers as they study, incorporating what they learn from world-class lecturers into their working lives.
Whilst professors, alumni, and students bring expertise from all over the world, the course has a distinctly Asian perspective, focusing on giving students the tools and experience required to build long-lasting corporate advantage in the fast-growing region. Project-based learning and real-world local business examples prove the most advantageous for students who can put theories through various iterations to learn how to conduct business in Asia more successfully.
The HKU MBA part time course allows students to study at a pace complementary to their business workload. There is both a weekday evening and a weekend mode. The former meets twice a week for three hour sessions while the weekend option conducts classes on Saturdays. The city center location proves convenient and the semester abroad option – at prestigious London Business School or Columbia Business School - gives eager students the opportunity to compare and contrast their learning of Asian business with Western approaches.
There are four key themes have been identified as drivers of success at HKU with their part time MBA offering.
● Entrepreneurship, Innovation & Operations Management
● Financial Management
● Managing in China & Asia
● Marketing & Services Management
By structuring courses around these key areas, the HKU MBA part time program gives students a diverse knowledge base alongside the opportunity to focus on their particular aptitudes.
With a modular structure where students study 11 core modules plus an additional 7 electives relating to these themes, students can design their course schedule to fit around other commitments. Modules are studied one at a time and last for approximately five weeks. Part time students can choose to skip a module if their workload is particularly heavy or wait until later to study a module that fits with a particular work project.
