Designed for Senior Managers
HKUST DiMBA aims at providing a flexible and comprehensive digital learning journey for students.

Although you will study the same comprehensive curriculum as that of the traditional MBA, the DiMBA is structured with senior managers in mind. The digital learning journey is flexible—the dedicated e-learning platform will give you control over when you study, while keeping you in touch with your classmates around the globe.

Blended Learning

Our blended learning structure will save you time. Watch recorded online lectures at any time, and share ideas with your peers in the live classes. Plus, you will not be restricted to online study—DiMBA electives can be taken face-to-face if your schedule allows.

50% Online Learning + 50% Virtual Classes

Lecture-based courses are a 50/50 mix of recordings and live classes. Learn from pre-lesson exercises and short videos, created by our world-class faculty, whenever suits you.

The other half of these courses is spent in virtual classes, experiencing live lectures in an interactive environment.

100% Virtual Classes

Some business skills can only be learned collaboratively. Courses on key soft skills like communication and leadership, or where discussion of case studies is at the core of learning, are delivered completely in live mode. This allows for top-quality presentations and intellectual exchange.

Face-to-Face Classes

Elective courses can optionally be studied right here in Hong Kong (subject to availability).

Get a taste of on-campus life at HKUST by studying some modules face-to-face together with our full- and part-time MBA students.

Class Schedule

The course timetable is designed with your work schedule in mind.

MBA Cores

Typically arranged on Saturday mornings from 9:00am to 1:00pm under normal circumstances so you can have the afternoon free for yourself.

Electives

Available in weekend daytime (from 9:00am to 5:30pm) or weekday evenings (from 7:00pm onwards). You can choose the courses that best match your interests and schedule.

A Day Well Spent

Here is how a typical day may look like for you. The actual workload will be different for each student depending on the course requirements and your familiarity with the subject.
