My main goal in the MBA was pretty simple and clear: to work for a global company in an international city. To achieve this goal, Hong Kong gave everything that I needed. There are many global HQs or regional HQs in Hong Kong and it’s one of the most diversified of cities.

Furthermore, Hong Kong is a gateway to China and as a Korean, considering Chinese and Korean business relationships, learning about the China market and industry is very important. The physical distance between Korea and Hong Kong is also a good reason.

So my choice was not a wrong one because now I’m working in Hong Kong in a global marketing team of INFINITI Motors.

Studying in HKU MBA gave me a lot professionally and individually. Through the month long China immersion course in Beijing, I had a better understanding of China and it was fantastic to build real friendships with our classmates.

The exchange programme with Columbia Business School in New York was the best period in my life and it opened my eyes to the world. I also realised that my classmates in HKU were as competitive as the students in CBS, one of the top MBA schools in the world.

Thanks to Career Development and Training, I got my internship opportunity and it was very helpful in getting my real job.

Those global experiences have broadened my view, not only from an academic perspective but also of my life. HKU MBA should be a good option for everyone who is looking for a uniquely genuine experience.
