We are a Globally Connected Business School

At HKUST MBA, global connectivity is part of everyday life. In 2026, we welcomed over 200 international students from around the world, including exchange students from top partner schools. Even if you stay in Hong Kong, you’ll engage with diverse cultures and perspectives through shared classes and campus experiences. For those eager to explore further, our exchange program offers the chance to study abroad—virtually or in-person—making your MBA journey truly global in scope and spirit. 

Full-time MBA students enrolled in the 16-month MBA program have the option to apply to study for a full term at one of our partner schools located in various countries.*
