For both local and international candidates, there are obvious attractions: a wide range of high-quality programmes; the chance to study alongside and network with like-minded professionals from different sectors; and, on completion, the prospect of exciting job opportunities with top employers in the Greater Bay Area (GBA) and across Asia.    Such factors are very much part of the appeal of the MBA offered by HKU Business School and, no doubt, explain the current push to secure places for the next intake which starts classes in August 2023.  Applicants can choose either the one-year full-time or the two-year part-time mode, with the latter also available as a weekday or weekend option. And, with in-person rather than online teaching now assured, the admissions team is hearing from many first-rate candidates who are keen to advance their careers after the slowdown of last three years, acquire the know-how needed to prosper in the digital economy, and position themselves to meet the challenges of Asia’s fast-changing business landscape.  “We have close connections with the corporate world to get feedback on the skill sets they are looking for in MBA graduates and to understand what is happening in business today.” says Sachin Tipnis, senior executive director of HKU Business School. “The fundamentals don’t change, but we want to make sure the knowledge and skills we teach are market-oriented and relevant.
