FINANCING YOUR MBA
Enrolling in an MBA program is an important commitment; as such, good financial planning is essential. Non-Hong Kong residents must apply for a student visa, which requires proof of sufficient financial resources to support your studies.
The program fee for the Part-time MBA (Bi-Weekly Mode) program is HK$490,000 for Intake 2025. This covers tuition, textbooks and course materials for core courses (excluding course materials for electives), as well as certain enrichment activities. Accommodation for the alternate weekend will be at the students’ own expense. Complimentary transportation between selected border locations and HKUST Campus will be provided to Bi-Weekly program students.
Successful applicants are required to pay a non-refundable deposit of HK$65,000 (approximately US$8,300) when accepting the offer of admission, which is deducted from their outstanding fee. The remainder of the fee is normally paid in two installments.
Our part-time MBA program is listed as a reimbursable course by the Continuing Education Fund. This fund provides reimbursement of up to HK$25,000 for eligible Hong Kong residents who fulfill the criteria.
The following courses have been included in the list of reimbursable courses under the Continuing Education Fund. They are recognized under the Qualifications Framework (QF Level [6]). After 1 August 2022, successful applicants who are HK citizens and are eligible for CEF may be reimbursed with a maximum sum of HK$25,000 upon successful completion of the entire program/course(s) with an overall attendance rate over 70%.
