Networking and Secure Data Transmission

Networking skills are becoming a common competence for successful career as well as language skills and financial skills. How various computers, which individually hold data, are connected so that an organization can use the full resources available for conducting business is a critical part of creating value using technology. This course, starting from the key technologies of the internet and other network services, expands to include new businesses and applications using network services. What impact the recent progress of network services is having on our business and life and what challenges companies offering network services are facing are discussed in this course.

Foundations of Web Technologies

The Internet and World Wide Web (WWW) technologies are evolving fast. The knowledge of cutting edge technologies and how they are used for Web based e-business applications are “must have” skills not only for e-business systems developers but for all other e-business professionals. Organizations aim to “seamlessly” integrate WWW and the Internet into their business operations. This course provides a practical understanding of the breadth of the most widely used professional web technologies such as networking and Internet fundamentals, browser side programming (i.e. scripting) and server side programming (i.e. interactive dynamic web development using databases). Students will also learn the skills to match technologies with typical e-business operations.

Full-time MBA
The University of Hong Kong (HKU) and its unique MBA Programme is a major participant in, and contributor to, the business culture of Hong Kong and Mainland China.
MBA students today demand an approach that can set them up for success both regionally and across a wider world; a learning experience that bestows upon them a first-class education, real-world experience, and a deep understanding of international business, and cultural differences and nuances. Our MBA Programme is specifically designed to produce those outcomes. The Asia-Pacific and China focus gives our students a unique advantage to build their career in the region and beyond.

Learn business where the business is
Mainland Chinese come to HKU to look at their country from the outside, and to learn the business methodologies of the West; while overseas students get to experience China and Asia firsthand. Both are able to relate their knowledge to a global playing field.

Diversity is key
Our location in a city with such a rich business and entrepreneurial heritage is an immense advantage for students.

Not surprisingly, Hong Kong has become a magnet for MBA students from all over the world. A significant percentage of our student body is from overseas and the PRC, which, combined with local students, produces an exciting and stimulating mix of backgrounds. Our professors are all distinguished in their fields and come from different countries, creating a truly international experience.

Partnerships
The unique partnerships with world-renowned business schools such as London Business School and Columbia Business School offer our students unmatched opportunities in terms of educational experience and networking. Our existing partnership with Fudan University in China further complements the overall experience.

Students are encouraged to develop their individual potential while bonding with each other through teamwork.

Innovative Course Scheduling and Design
The program lasts 20 months, with classes meeting once a month on a four day weekend, thus minimizing intrusion into a regular work schedule.
The curriculum is designed on the basis of modules to facilitate simultaneous learning. Students are required to spend extensive time at school in order to become familiar with learning tools and each other.
Classes held on different campuses are independent from each other, but a portion of all courses are held at the Beijing Campus for networking purposes.
A broad range of electives are offered to complement the core curriculum.

Collaborative Teaching and Learning Environment
The main working language is Chinese, with simultaneous translation and printed bilingual materials provided for those taught by non-Chinese speaking faculty members.
Teaching methods include lectures, cases, computer simulations, group discussion, and seminars, with a strong emphasis on communication between students as well as between students and faculty.
At the conclusion of each class, the students will be asked to evaluate the faculty member’s performance to ensure the quality of teaching.
While the majority of the courses offered at the Beijing campus will be local, 2 to 3 weeks are set aside for field trips which include studying the local economy, visiting well-known local companies, and engaging in discussions with local business and government leaders. The purpose of these field trips is to provide solutions for the problems faced by the local economy and its businesses.
In addition to the course offerings, numerous industry-specific organizations and geography-specific alumni associations provide additional opportunities for exchanges and networking.

A Program with Global Vision
The 15-day International Residency Program (optional and non-credit granting) offered in collaboration with other top business schools includes classroom learning and visits to some of the world’s best known companies.
“Learning with the Masters”, and “The Cheung Kong EMBA Forum” provide additional platforms for students to develop their individual learning potential, leadership skills, entrepreneurial spirit and humanistic values.
