 Student Life and Profile
- The HKUST Business School welcomes dynamic, self-directed students from around the world, drawn from a broad range of industries and with a diversity of academic backgrounds. As a young and energetic school we are open to new initiatives and create an environment in which learning occurs between peers as much as it does between students and faculty.
Diversity of Experience
Our students have acquired their first degrees from leading universities around the world and represent some of the best-recognized multinational corporations and significant national organizations. Daily interaction with them in the classroom, in enrichment activities, and in social settings will play a significant role in your MBA studies. With an average of six years in the workforce, you and your peers will have a wealth of management experience to share. An International Cohort
Just as importantly, HKUST MBA students are drawn from more than 25 countries in Africa, Asia, the Americas, Europe and the Middle East. You will gain immediate insights into the cultural issues at work in the global economy, and benefit from understanding gained through tackling real-world business problems in close-knit cross-cultural teams.
The Financial Times placed us 4th in 'International Course Experience' among all MBA programs in the world during 2013. The bonds you form at HKUST will stretch around the world and last a lifetime.
