HKUST MBA Adapts to Asia's Growing Economic Influence

The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) is aligning its MBA program with the evolving economic landscape of Asia. Responding to skepticism about the MBA's relevance, HKUST has updated its curriculum to emphasize innovation, inclusivity, and leadership, addressing the fast-paced growth of the region.

The program now includes 59% female students, drawing candidates from diverse fields such as journalism, education, and government. The curriculum also offers specialized electives like Practical AI for Business and Chinese Tech Strategy in the Global AI Era, tailored for the dynamically changing Asian markets.

With international collaborations, students gain exposure through global study opportunities. HKUST's partnerships with 80 institutions worldwide enhance this experience. The focus on innovation is further strengthened by events such as Unicorn Day, connecting students with leading startups in Asia.
