Last Updated on 23 May 2023

HKUST Business School

Established in 1991, the HKUST Business School has risen to international prominence in a remarkably short period of time, achieving widespread global recognition and a variety of prestigious academic rankings.

Strategically located at the heart of Asia's economic centre, our students not only enjoy access to a unique fusion of East-meets-West, but also excellent proximity to China and the opportunity to experience the vitality of one of the world's most important economies.

Our full suite of degree programmes, including undergraduate, MBA, EMBA, MSc, PhD as well as a wide range of executive education programmes, means that the HKUST Business School is always at the forefront of educational development and business thinking. The HKUST Business School was the first business school in the region accredited by both the US-based Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB International) and the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS).

Global Reach

The School's partnerships with leading business schools in joint degree programmes have also been instrumental in building our international prominence. These include the acclaimed Kellogg-HKUST Executive MBA programme in collaboration with the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University in the US, and Master of Science in Global Finance with New York University's Stern School of Business.

Beta Gamma Sigma

Exceptional students are provided with the opportunity to become inductees representing the HKUST Chapter. Each year the School also nominates outstanding business and community leaders as HKUST Chapter honorees. Based on the society's values of honor and integrity (Beta), pursuit of wisdom (Gamma) and earnestness (Sigma), Beta Gamma Sigma has inducted over 750,000 exceptional members since its foundation, with over 2,000 inductees drawn from the HKUST Business School. They include professors, students, alumni and respected members of the community.
