Course Structure

Designed by a world-class, award-winning faculty, the full-time MBA curriculum not only provides students with a first-class experience, but also equips them with real-world knowledge and a deep understanding of Asian and international business. Ranked No.1 in the world for top-tier one-year MBA degrees, our intensive one-year programme offers students a unique opportunity to study in the world’s top 4 financial centres and gain a nuanced appreciation of cultural sensitivities in these economic powerhouses.

The programme starts with an orientation programme and a series of networking events with their classmates and HKU alumni to create valuable, life-long connections. All students will then begin their nine-month course of study in Hong Kong, where they will take case-based foundational and functional core modules, along with electives to acquire a more focused expertise on the subjects in which they have a keen interest.

Our unique China Immersion Programme provides the opportunity to learn about the vast diversity of China’s economy as well as the cultural differences between China’s north and south. Students will get to visit various cities in Mainland China to understand one of the biggest and most important economies in the world.

Partnership programme

In a highly connected world, it is vital for future business leaders to have a global perspective and a strong understanding of international business culture. To empower our MBA students to be global leaders, the HKU Business School entered into a partnership with London Business School in 2006, soon followed by our partnership with Columbia Business School (CBS) in 2007. This partnership enables our students to get both an Asian and a global perspective, and is a manifestation of the natural synergies amongst premier business schools in the world’s three major financial centres.

Upon completion of the core modules, students opting for the London track spend a full semester taking up to five elective courses alongside students enrolled in London Business School’s MBA, EMBA and Master of Finance programmes. They thus have access to the school’s distinguished student, alumni and corporate networks built over more than 50 years as the best business school in Europe. Students will get to participate in London-based events, meet illustrious business leaders as part of the school’s famed speaker series, and visit leading firms in the city. London Business School issues HKU MBA students with a certificate and an official transcript upon successful completion of the programme.
Upon completion of the core modules at HKU, students opting for the New York track spend a semester taking up to five elective courses alongside Columbia MBA and EMBA students. As the only top Ivy League business school immersed in the global business hub that is New York City, students get an opportunity to access and interact with the over 100-year-old Columbia Business School’s eminent student, alumni and corporate networks in New York. Columbia Business School issues HKU MBA students with a certificate and an official transcript upon successful completion of the programme.

The partnerships between these three premier business schools has attracted universal praise for providing a world-class MBA experience, and creating valuable and lasting alumni networks between Hong Kong, London and New York.
The HKU MBA’s dual focus on Asia and China business renders the programme highly relevant to the wider region’s dynamic, ever-evolving business environment. For students who want to further develop their understanding of, and build a career in, Greater China, they can choose to either take up electives at Fudan University in Shanghai or complete their course in Hong Kong.

China is the world’s second largest economy, and Shanghai is its financial capital. Students opting for the China Track will get to study China-focused electives at the top-ranked Fudan University for approximately three months in the spring. Our partnership with Fudan University not only provides students with access to all of the university’s facilities and its large pool of HKU MBA alumni in China, but also gives them a deeper exposure to various aspects of the Chinese business world through seminars, industry interfaces, real-world projects and enrichment workshops.

For those who wish to complete the entirety of their course in Hong Kong, they will get to take electives alongside our part-time MBA students, most of whom are experienced middle-to-senior management professionals at top local and regional companies. Working together with such experienced individuals gives full-time students a greater insight into the region and helps accelerate their career plans in Hong Kong.
