The Hong Kong UST Business School (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology) or HKUST was only established in 1991, however, it features highly in most business school rankings. HKUST is ranked 6th in the Financial Times Top 100 Business Schools Global MBA rankings and its Executive MBA (EMBA), run in collaboration with Kellogg School of Management , is ranked 1st in the Financial Times EMBA rankings.

Although HKUST scores well across all the different aspects of its MBA program there is an overwhelming trend towards alumni pursuing a career in the finance and banking sector, in fact over 50% of alumni end up in this sector three years after graduation. Maybe this is do to with the fact that only 29% of alumni take roles overseas, therefore, the majority of alumni are likely to be snapped up by Hong Kong’s huge banking and finance industry.

One downside of this reliance on the finance and banking sector for employment following graduation seems to be that HKUST’s percentage of alumni employed at 3 months has dropped from 90% in 2010 to a rather ugly 69% in 2011. This is undoubtedly attributed to the global economic downturn and it’s impact on the finance and banking sector.

Hong Kong UST Business School offers the following MBA programs:

  • Full-time MBA program
  • Part-time MBA program
  • HKUST / Kellogg Executive MBA Program
The HKUST / Kellogg Executive MBA program is undoubtedly the jewel in the crown here and has helped to produce many global business leaders over the years. With a strong focus on business in Asia the Executive MBA program gives students a real insight into some of the critical success factors for doing business in this region.

Graduates also have the benefit of joining the 50,000 + alumni across both institutions, opening up a huge network of global business leaders.

The HKUST / Kellogg Executive MBA program is delivered by a truly world-class faculty from both institutions, providing students with a unique blend of eastern and western expertise.
