The greatest investment you can make is in your education and self-development. When tasked with greater responsibilities back then, I felt a strong need to acquire skills, knowledge, perspectives, and connections that would complement and accelerate my career. HKUST’s close ties to industry, the vast variety of electives and exchange opportunities offered by the HKUST MBA program, its extensive alumni network, and the flexibility of the Part-time Weekly mode were all factors that drew me to the program.
