Student Story

I am currently working as an in-house legal at an investment bank in Hong Kong, focusing on equity, debt and M&A transactions. Prior to my in-house role, I was a corporate lawyer in two international law firms after completion of legal studies in China and UK.

Despite being in the legal profession, my job has always been associated with corporate finance and economics related issues and I feel it is important to understand issues from a business perspective. I believe the HKU MBA course will not only provide me with a great overview of the business world and equip me with finance and accounting knowledge, but also enhance my strategic thinking, financial awareness and managerial attitude, all of which will be of great value to my career and personal development. With such a belief and the desire to constantly challenge myself, I embarked on the MBA journey in August 2016. The programme has brought me back to the student life that I always longed for. I have enjoyed the company of a group of excellent young professionals who can share their wealth of experience and knowledge and I believe the friendship forged during MBA studies will be for life.
