As a former FMCG market researcher, I have embarked on a transformative journey by joining the Full-time MBA Intake 2023 at HKUST. With a passion for venturing into the field of management consulting, I aim to expand my industry knowledge and embrace new challenges. I recognize that the HKUST MBA program will equip me with the necessary skills and experiences through engaging in overseas competitions and taking up leadership roles in clubs and organizations.
The Digital MBA draws in global leaders from various regions, allowing me to have the chance to engage with a wider array of senior professionals from different backgrounds, broadening my perspective and participating in cultural and intellectual exchanges.
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.
Hong Kong is the ideal place to study for aspiring MBA students who recognize that understanding and building an Asia-centric network will create long-term opportunities in this dynamic region. We have a supportive alumni network, international faculty with experience in Asia as researchers, a flexible curriculum, and the benefits of collaborating with the broader HKUST university community, such as the entrepreneurship center.
