MBA
HKUST’s MBA Program is innovative and one-of-a-kind. It is where business meets technology to shape the leaders of the future. The MBA Program at HKUST is for professionals looking for an international business education focused on Asia. Via its unique Business Technology and Analytics track, optional MBA exchange program, short global programs, students are guaranteed the opportunities to develop a global vision and up-to-date business insights that will help them navigate a technology-driven world. In a first, it is also home to the Digital MBA Global Leaders Program, which utilizes the first virtual classroom in Asia to recreate a highly engaging learning environment. This enables students to develop their global business acumen, digital competencies, and leadership prowess in a rich academic setting.
“To prepare our MBA students to be effective leaders in an even more technologically driven world, we are focused on developing not just their ‘hard’ skills—like how to analyze data—but also their ‘soft’ skills—such as how to empathize with people who are different from them. In addition to grasping the key concepts behind digital transformations or sustainability initiatives, our program helps cultivate the ability to ask thought-provoking questions, synthesize a wide set of views, manage ambiguity, and take courageous risks. The leader of the future will also need to be especially adept at connecting across boundaries—whether it is across functions, enterprises, or geographies and cultures. The international and cross-disciplinary nature of our MBA program is a great environment for our students to develop these skills.
One of our important strengths is our alumni network. We continue to expand this network each year—and with the launch of our DiMBA program are prepared to further strengthen this network. I am so grateful for the support our alumni provide to our students, each other, and the MBA program.”
