E-learning is thriving in the post-pandemic environment, as online degrees become part of the new normal. Online MBAs are now offered by most respected business schools, and recruiters tell us that they are accepted by the majority of employers. As perceptions shift and education catches up with technology, degrees taught online are earning their due appreciation as the equal of conventional in-class degrees.

HKUST offers one of the world’s top-ranked MBA programs. Now the degree is available fully online—making ours the first Financial Times top-ranked business school in Asia to take this step. As a DiMBA student, you will enjoy the same academic advantages as on-campus students, studying the same curriculum with the same faculty. And you will graduate with the same accredited MBA certificate as the on-campus cohort. The DiMBA has dual accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) and the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS), making it an indispensable asset for ambitious business leaders.

Technology is transforming business, and our MBAs have evolved to reflect this. From cryptocurrency to AI, business leaders need to study to stay ahead in this landscape. Our online MBA sits at the cutting edge of business technology, and as a DiMBA student you will hone your expertise in these emerging fields.

HKUST also capitalizes on innovations to maximize the effectiveness of online teaching. Our Virtual Classroom—the first of its kind in Asia—is an environment crafted for fully immersive learning. With the ability to see and talk to your fellow students, studying the DiMBA will feel much like a face-to-face classroom experience.

WHAT DO WE MEAN BY DIGITAL?
  • MBA Curriculum Delivered DIGITALLY
  • Diverse Network Enabled by DIGITAL
  • Essential Business Skills for a DIGITAL WORLD
WITHOUT COMPROMISING YOUR PERSONAL, FAMILY AND WORK PRIORITIES

The DiMBA’s curriculum is just as rigorous and relevant as the curricula of our on-campus programs, but its dedicated educational technologies offer an added benefit: location-independent study.  You may have put down roots where you live, or perhaps you are on the hunt for opportunities in another city, country, or even continent. Your career trajectory may also limit your availability.

As a DiMBA student, you will have the chance to earn a world-leading business qualification and acquire the academic, interpersonal, and leadership skills necessary to solve complex business problems from the comfort of your own home.
