The HKUST MBA curriculum is designed to develop your ability to operate successfully in a global economy, and manage effectively in the Asian context. There are two main components: required cores (~60%) and advanced electives (~40%). We also provide three areas of concentration for those who want to specialize.
Required Cores
The required cores cover areas in Accounting, Economics, Finance, Marketing, Operation Management, Organization Behavior, Strategy, Communications, Business Laws and Ethics. They are arranged in three tiers - foundation function, and integration - to provide a foundation for further study in chosen areas.
Advanced Electives
Advanced electives comprise over 40% of the HKUST MBA curriculum, allowing participants to strengthen their expertise in particular areas of interest.
Approximately 50 electives are offered each year. A mix of full-time, part-time and exchange-in participants take electives together to encourage integration and experience sharing. Students joining the international exchange program can take electives in partner schools and transfer credits back to HKUST.
Concentrations
We provide three optional concentrations for those who want to specialize in China business, Financial Services, and IT Management. Students interested can apply for a specific concentration by fulfilling credit requirements with the relevant electives.
Course Delivery and Assessment
Course delivery methods range from lectures, discussions, seminars and case analysis to simulation, individual and group projects and presentations. Assessment may include class participation, individual assignments, group projects and presentations, quizzes and exams, depending on the nature of the course. Faculty members select the appropriate mix of delivery and assessment for the best teaching results.
