The School’s MSc Programs has formed a new partnership with the Smith School of Business at Queen’s University, Canada. This collaboration introduces the first double-degree pathway in Canada and a new postgraduate exchange program, offering students exceptional opportunities to develop global business expertise and gain valuable international exposure.

The double-degree program allows students to complete their first year of study at their home institution and their second year at the partner school. By the end of the program, students will earn two master’s degrees, equipping them with both specialized expertise and a global perspective.
The exchange program provides students with the chance to experience the academic and cultural environments of both Canada and Hong Kong. This initiative promotes cross-cultural understanding and helps students build international networks, preparing them to navigate the increasingly interconnected world of business.
