In early October, a delegation from HKUST Business School, led by Prof. HUI Kai-Lung, Acting Dean, made a visit to Nazarbayev University (NU) in Kazakhstan. The delegation was also joined by Mr. Chris TSANG, Assistant Dean (Administration) and MSc Program Director, and Ms. Salad KWOK, Head of MSc Programs.
During the visit, both parties signed an agreement on student exchange, marking a major milestone of partnership. Starting this academic year, our School will host a group of students from NU Graduate School of Business (NUGSB) Bachelor of Business Administration and Master of Science Finance programs on our campus. In return, our undergraduate students and students of MSc in Finance programs will benefit from the opportunity to study at NUGSB, immersing themselves in a culturally rich learning environment. In the pipeline, we are actively exploring initiatives for students of both universities to gain global exposure and broaden their academic horizons.
We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to NU’s President Prof. Waqar AHMAD, Provost Prof. Ilesanmi ADESIDA, Dean of NUGSB Prof. Jozef KONINGS, and other senior leaders of the university and the business school for their warm hospitality.
