Course Overview
HKUST MBA is the first program in Asia among Financial Times’ global top 25 MBAs to offer a flexible online learning mode for working professionals who desire more freedom in their schedule or geographical mobility. With this new study mode, students can earn one of the world’s best MBA degrees no matter where they are or will be.
The Digital MBA Program for Global Leaders (DiMBA) is offered under the same umbrella of our MBA degree, together with our full-time and part-time (face-to-face) MBA programs. As a part-time two-year program designed for working professionals, DiMBA has the same admissions and graduation requirements as our part-time (face-to-face) program.
DiMBA Students will be required to join the first week of their program in-person, while participating in our global immersion program to expand their international exposure and enroll in optional face-to-face courses on campus. Students will use latest digital learning technologies, including Asia’s first virtual classroom and an online learning platform designed for executive education, to learn and work with their peers virtually in order to master the art of digital leadership and teamwork for tomorrow’s workplace.
On successful completion of the program, graduates will be able to:
- Analyze and solve business problems from each of the managerial disciplines of management education;
- Solve cross functional business problems and create integrated business solutions;
- Evaluate the ethical implications and potential risks faced by managers and apply responsible leadership principles to the business decision making process;
- Make effective managerial business decisions that incorporate potential global/international considerations (benefits and risks);
- Within a managerial context, be able to communicate clearly across multiple stakeholder groups and functional topics; and
- Work and manage themselves effectively within a team environment (as a team leader or follower) to deliver team objectives.
