“The HKUST EMBA Program prepares senior Chinese executives to lead in the ever-changing world. It provides a unique bilingual education with frontier research, knowledge, cases, and experiences that bridge the East and the West. The Program features a balanced curriculum with foundational business subjects as well as stateof-the-art subjects such as emerging technologies, sustainability and risks, negotiation strategy, and innovative thinking.
In addition to classroom learning, the Program promotes extracurricular sharing and learning through regular engagement activities and workshops that expose students to new topics that are non-conventional in an EMBA program, including aging and life sciences, autonomous Internet of things, and metaverse. These carefully-curated workshops and learning help ensure the EMBA students always stay ahead to lead the pack.”

“In view of the growing influence of the Mainland, and the strong interest shown by Mainland participants in EMBA program after experiencing School’s high-quality executive education courses, the School launched in 2001 the International EMBA in bilingual setting, which was tailor-made for executives from Greater China region. It was revamped in 2009 as the HKUST EMBA with three refined positionings, namely innovation, globalization and social responsibility.
This program acts as a life-long learning platform by providing a wide variety of enrichment events including overseas study tours, home-coming modules, forums, Gobi trek competition and online webinars. An alumni association with regional chapters, has been formed to engage alumni, offering networking opportunities across the country.”
