For all courses, the language of instruction is English.

*The courses offered may vary each year due to market trends and professional expertise that the school engages with.
The learning experience at HKUST is unique. You may underestimate the workload for this part-time program at first, but you will find that you learn more than you expect, not only from the textbook or business cases, but also from the real-world learning shared by classmates and professors. You will have a very solid foundation to be a general manager after the core courses, and you will be able to apply your learning in your daily life immediately. Besides gaining hard-skills, I have also been inspired to adopt a new way of thinking by passionate and knowledgeable professors.
