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.

Finance

The mission of the Finance department is to teach and conduct research on the financial markets and on the investment and financial decisions made by individuals and corporations. While striving to be one of the top finance programs in the world, the Department places special emphasis on developing expertise on Asian financial markets. The Center for Asian Financial Markets specializes in basic and applied research related to the Asian financial markets.

In a study on finance research output in Financial Management, the official journal of the Financial Management Association International, HKUST was named the top university in the Asia-Pacific region. Arizona State University’s research ranking of finance departments throughout the world (based on publications in the top four journals in finance during 1991-2005) ranked HKUST 23rd in the world.

Because of the quality of its faculty, the Department has quickly gained an international reputation for its research, as well as a local reputation for its expertise in corporate finance, derivatives, and the local and regional financial markets.

The teaching in the department is both current and relevant, and its programs in corporate finance, derivatives and risk management are highly regarded by local industry. This recognition has transformed into favorable placement of its students and repeated recruitment from major firms. PhD graduates are well sought after by universities and research organizations.

Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST)
The program, an alliance between the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology’s Business School (HKUST) and the New York University Stern School of Business (NYU Stern), not only brings together two world-renowned business schools, but also two of the world’s most important finance centers. And while classes will be held primarily in Hong Kong, there will also be a two-week intensive learning module in New York.

If you are working in the finance sector, this program will improve your overall effectiveness in the industry, which will immensely benefit your finance career.

In addition, there is a shortage of highly qualified professionals in the field. Even non-financial sectors in the Asia-Pacific, such as manufacturing and real estate, are seeking financial expertise. Hence, if you are not working in the finance sector now, our innovative, world-class program can prepare you to take advantage of these opportunities.

The MS in Global Finance, the first and only finance program in the Asia-Pacific Region formatted for working executives, offers interested professionals like you an unrivalled opportunity to increase your finance knowledge and skills under the guidance of internationally recognized academics.
