Company Background

The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) opened in October 1991 as a technological university dedicated to the advancement of learning and scholarship, with special emphasis on research, postgraduate education, and close collaboration with business and industry.
The University occupies an impressive 60-hectare site on the northern end of Clear Water Bay Peninsula at Tai Po Tsai. Situated on the slopes along the shore, the campus grounds are terraced to afford buildings on all levels with unobstructed panoramic views of the sea.
Three of the University's schools - Science, Engineering, and Business and Management - provide both undergraduate and postgraduate education. The School of Humanities and Social Science offers postgraduate education and general education for all undergraduates. As the medium of instruction is English, classes aimed at improving English language skills are available to students, as needed. Our new and fifth school - HKUST Fok Ying Tung Graduate School was opened in Jan 2007.
The University recruits worldwide for faculty who have achieved excellence in their fields and are highly respected as both teachers and researchers. These include both established academics and promising younger scholars. More than 85% have experience at the world's leading research universities, either as PhD graduates, or through postdoctoral studies or teaching appointments.

Business Activities

The Business School comprises six departments: Accounting, Economics, Finance, Information and Systems Management, Management of Organizations, and Marketing. The School enrolls approximately 40% of the University's undergraduate students and approximately 30% of its postgraduate students. All departments offer undergraduate as well as postgraduate programs through to the doctorate.
Building on a strong broad-based foundation, undergraduate students choose a program in which particular skills are acquired. Thus, graduates are able to enter a specialized job market while retaining sufficient flexibility and adaptability for future career growth. Postgraduates are enrolled, either full- or part-ime, for the Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree, Kellogg-HKUST EMBA program, International EMBA program or one of four MSc programs. Research students study for the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree.
Executive and professional programs support the multi-facets of the School's strategic initiatives in pursuit of quality research and teaching for world class management education. Program offerings include general management programs for developing corporate executives, general managers and entrepreneurial business leaders, as well as specialist programs which exploit the use of high-tech quantitative models/simulations for applications in business. The objective is to help business and industries in Hong Kong and the neighboring region to stay on the leading edge of business development and management practices.
