The School has recently signed an MoU with Microsoft Hong Kong for the AI Business School 2.0 Strategic Partnership, further strengthening Hong Kong's first MBA elective jointly launched by the two parties in 2020 featuring AI applications in business. More than 130 postgraduates have so far taken part in this course to get prepared for the AI future.
Under the AI Business School 2.0 partnership, HKUST Business School will continue to strengthen the AI-centric elective course in its MBA program by leveraging the Microsoft’s AI Business School curriculum to provide the latest thinking on AI transformation in business. This business-focused course will also be available for students of HKUST MSc programs with plan to extend to executive education in future.
Looking ahead, Microsoft Hong Kong and the School will launch an enhanced AI program on digital upskilling for around 150 students from all fields of study. By leveraging curriculum on Microsoft Learn online platform, the program will empower students to acquire role-based technological skills, knowledge and industry-recognized certifications on AI, Big Data and Cloud Computing, and prepare future-ready business talent for careers with a deep understanding of cutting-edge technologies and their trends.
