Hong Kong has always been one of my favorite places to visit as this is an ever-changing city that is dynamic in its culture and people. Hong Kong is a mash-up of modern skyscrapers and uninterrupted vistas which can have an appeal for anyone that passes through the city.
As for my profile, I trusted in two things: the international experience I had, which I knew could contribute to the class, and the drive and passion that characterise my dreams. I was confident these aspects would draw attention and make my profile stand out.
The rigorous, yet flexible, HKU MBA curriculum offered an all-inclusive enlightenment on key business fundamentals and areas of strategy, where I required further exposure.
Apart from collaborating with a culturally diverse group of people from different industries, HKU MBA programme allowed me to explore best practices within top corporations and served as a venue for a fruitful exchange of ideas amongst great minds.
Studied in HKU MBA helped me to sharpen my interpersonal skill such as collaboration and team work as I was required to work in a diverse group all the time
They all say you would meet interesting people doing MBA. But being mentored by the former President and COO of Alibaba and able to have a coffee with the man once a month is way beyond my dreams.
I thank HKU MBA for allowing me to be exposed to a wide array of knowledge and networks in such a short period of time. The meaningful learning experiences at HKU MBA helped me gain confidence and explore opportunities beyond what I thought was available to me before pursuing an MBA
Considering my current position, I think the most practical gains made during my MBA journey are English skills, communication skills and understanding about people from diverse culture backgrounds.
To aspiring MBA applicants: whilst the one-year programme is tough, due to the need to study and network simultaneously, Hong Kong is all about networking - and you should make the most of it whilst you are there.
HKU MBA has definitely exceeded my expectations. Great faculty and classes reflecting the latest trends have constantly stimulated my intellectual curiosity.
For me, HKU MBA is like a rich buffet. Everyone's preferences and gains are different, but we will all enjoy the feast, and continue to enjoy the long-term benefits brought to us
