Starting this new academic year, students can study in both Hong Kong and Belgium to earn two master’s degrees while gaining valuable cross-cultural experience.
We are excited to announce a new double-degree partnership between HKUST Business School and Vlerick Business School, a leading international management institution in Europe. Designed to prepare aspiring young professionals for global careers, this partnership offers students opportunities to broaden their perspectives, expand their networks, and build international experience.
Students from three HKUST master’s programs can pursue a double degree with one of five specialized master’s programs at Vlerick.
The three master’s programs at HKUST Business School include:
- Master of Science in Business Analytics (MSBA)
- Master of Science in International Management (MIMT)
- Master of Science in Marketing (MScMARK)
The five specialized master’s programs at Vlerick Business School include:
- Masters in International Management (MIMS)
- Masters in Financial Management (MFM)
- Masters in Business Analytics and AI (MAI)
- Masters in Marketing Strategy (MMS)
- Masters in Innovation and Entrepreneurship (MIE)
The double-degree option not only enables students to study abroad, but also to earn two distinct master’s degrees. Graduates will become alumni of both business schools, benefiting from combined career services and the extensive professional networks of both institutions. By studying in two locations and collaborating with peers from diverse cultural and professional backgrounds, students will gain broader perspectives and experiences that prepare them for leadership roles in an interconnected world.
