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 Part-time MBA (Weekly Mode) program costs HK$490,000 for Intake 2025. This covers the tuition fee, textbooks and course materials for core courses (excluding course material for electives), as well as certain enrichment activities.
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%. For details and updates of eligibility, application, and reimbursement procedures (in particular the reimbursement period from the date of application), please check the CEF Office or 3142-2277 (24-hour enquiry hotline).
Meanwhile, as informed by the Labour and Welfare Bureau (LWB), for CEF courses to be offered with effect from Fall 23 Term, students are required to sign a Statement of Consent & Acknowledgement for the CEF reimbursement claims with one form per course in each term. Please contact your respective Program Team if you have any questions.
