Hong Kong University Of Science And Technology

HKUST MBA has a flexible curriculum with a wide range of electives, it helped me develop niche skills in private equity, venture capital, and asset management. In addition, the career and professional development team’s vast resources opened doors for internship opportunities, which turned into a full-time position.

HKUST has a broad set of courses in various industries and an overseas exchange program that gives students the opportunity to explore. Apart from the course selection, the diversity of the class was also attractive to me to build a global network. An alumnus shared during an HKUST MBA alumni network event on how the network and employability of HKUST graduates could help a career switch. That’s why I chose HKUST to break into the Hong Kong market. Upon my graduation, I actively engaged with and expanded my network of HKUST alumni. Consequently, I was fortunate to have referral opportunities and subsequent interview, which greatly facilitated my successful job search and ultimately led to my employment in Hong Kong.

I was working at BCG for three-and-a-half years, and wanted the opportunity to deepen my business knowledge. I am attracted to the HKUST MBA because of its Asian-focused community and its specializations in sustainability and tech. I chose courses that would teach me about the revolutionary technologies that were disrupting business, including Cryptocurrency, Blockchain and their Business Applications, and Transforming Business with Artificial Intelligence.

My outreach to MBA alumni in Hong Kong led me to the HKUST, whose curriculum aligned seamlessly with my aspirations. My decision to pursue an MBA emerged from a convergence of factors including career transition, managerial insights, and a thirst for diverse knowledge. The Career Planning and Development team guided me towards my goals and charted efficient pathways.
