Deciding to do an MBA in Asia is a clear indication to others that I am devoted to developing my career in the region.

The HKUST MBA Experience

At HKUST, you will live an intensive, stimulating, and engaging life. You will have an opportunity to meet top industry leaders in the region and put what you learn in class into immediate practice in one of the most memorable years of your life.

Meet business leaders

According to a 3000-year-old Chinese proverb, To know the road ahead, ask those coming back. We regularly invite business leaders to inspire our students with their own life journeys and leadership insights through industry sharing sessions, corporate visits, and our CEO lecture series. Carlos Ghosn CEO, Nissan Dr Armin Bruck CEO, Siemens India Angela Ahrendts CEO, Burberry Y.C. Koh President, Asia, Card Services American Express Kris Gopalakrishnan Co-Founder, Infosys Zhang Ruimin Founder & CEO, Haier Group

I was thoroughly impressed with Angela and her clear vision for Burberry as its CEO. I remember an hour ew by like it was ve minutes. That's a real tribute to her engaging, charismatic personality and crystal clear communication style.
and more
In a few short years, she has transformed Burberry into a powerhouse. As one of the few female CEOs in the industry, she serves as a role model for all female leaders. Such events are what make this MBA education worthwhile. Carol Zhou (United States) Class of 2014

Student clubs
We have a range of MBA clubs run by students that serve as excellent platforms to connect you with the business industry and put your leadership skills into action. China Club Consulting & Strategy Club Finance Club Marketing Club Entrepreneurs Club Japan Club Korea Club Energy Alliance Net Impact

Real Estate Club Adventure Club Media Club Sailing Club Sports Club Tech Club Wine Club Yoga Club

Deciding to become the President of the Sports Club was one of the best decisions I made during my MBA. Our regular training sessions were a great way for students to build up strong and lasting friendships.
This year, we mobilized 20 volunteers in our class to support the 4th Credit Suisse Asia MBA Football Tournament. All of the sweat and efforts that our team put into training paid off, as we beat other top Asian MBA schools and kept the trophy at HKUST.

The time I spent at HKUST means a lot to me. Working and playing alongside a group of exceptional individuals from different cultures has transformed the way I see the world.
I still remember vividly our days in the Residential Program. I had so much fun and at the same time learned so much about myself and people in both personal and professional aspects. It was definitely the most interesting experience I have had so far.

The HKUST Network

We may not be one of the worlds oldest educational institutions, but our strong reputation is already attracting highly talented individuals from across the globe. Here you will meet many people, some of whom may play pivotal roles in your future.
AT HKUST, YOU CAN EXPECT TO: Build a lifelong network with your classmates and enjoy direct access to our alumni directory. Network with top executives from prominent multinational firms through our Kellogg-HKUST EMBA program. Benefit from the local business experience of students from our part-time MBA programs in Hong Kong and Shenzhen who are already working here.

Our MBA professor introduced us to an HKUST engineering faculty member whose team had pioneered a new solar technology but lacked the knowledge to commercialize it.
My team built a business idea around this technology and won several prizes at overseas business plan competitions. It was an exhilarating experience that would not have been possible without the universitys network.
