HKU MBA Programme Ranked No. 1 in Asia By The Economist

14 Oct 2011

 

In the latest World MBA Rankings released by The Economist today, HKU's MBA Programme is again ranked No. 1 in Asia and No. 36 in the world, up 12 places from No. 48 last year.

Professor Eric Chang, Dean of the Faculty of Business and Economics of the University of Hong Kong, said, "we are delighted that our MBA is recognised as the best in Asia and one of the top programmes in the world. The Programme is dedicated to providing business leaders with first-class education.  We exert the utmost effort to continuously improve the MBA Programme in terms of curriculum and supporting facilities and we shall continue to cultivate those who bring positive influence to the business sector of increasing complexity and diversity."

Dr. Maurice Tse, Associate Dean of the Faculty of Business and Economics, remarked, "we do not only provide the best tools to equip our students, we also strive to offer them up-to-date practical skill sets and academic knowledge relevant to the business world.  Curriculum enhancement is essential to enrich the MBA Programme and to align it with the needs of students as well as the market demand.  We have engineered changes in the electives pool to enable the Programme to be more diverse and comprehensive.  We surely feel encouraged by the recognition from the international and regional communities."

Mr. Sachin Tipnis, Executive Director of HKU's MBA Programme, added, "the HKU MBA Programme is not merely a means to further your career by academic learning.  We constantly work together with students and alumni to develop the Programme to make it more competitive and more conducive to knowledge and experience exchange.  We have introduced the China immersion programme in Beijing to open up a new perspective to our students.  Additionally, the campus facilities are upgraded to make the study environment more convenient and comfortable."

The HKU MBA Programme continues to grow in scale into week-end mode and China track, with strong demands from China, Asia, as well as Europe and North America.  It has also expanded its career development service with more experienced staff to enhance its career counselling and job placement.

The Economist MBA Ranking is based on independent surveys on the following factors considered to be essential to their education by MBA students around the globe:

  • Open new career opportunities and/or further current career
  • Personal development and educational experience
  • Increase salary
  • Potential to network
