I am from Singapore and currently i have offers from both HKU and HKUST for full time MBA. Both are great schools and i am having a hard time choosing which school to choose.

HKUST seems to be better in ranking than HKU but HKU has a partnership with London Business School and Columbia Business School which seems really attractive.

Can anyone tell me what are the benefits of the partnership over the exchange program in HKUST?

Part of the HKUST includes about 3 months of internship, but HKU does not. Does internship make a lot of difference if i am looking for a career switch?

Anyone knows whether the employers prefer HKUST or HKU MBA students?

I would be happy to hear any advice or first-hand information of the 2 schools as well. :)
Thanks

Thanks:) But i am having a hard time deciding which one to choose.
I applied to HKUST in R2, just before the deadline.

Currently i am in the engineering field, and probably targeting at mgmt/strategic consulting for post MBA.

Any advice for me?

Hi

Between the two, HKUST is a better school and also enjoys a higher ranking in the MBA programme.

You may want to consider the internationality of the cohort, the alumni's job prospect etc to decide which one is more suitable to you.

Kind regards,
Thomas

Actually, there's another strong MBA Programmes offered by The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUMBA). They are the longest running MBA Programmes in the region and already have more than 5000 graduates (with over 1000 MBA graduates in China) taking up top executive positions which I'd suggest all of you here to consider CUMBA as well.

Hello
I dont understand what the appeal of the exchange program is? if you are interested in Columbia or LBS than apply there directly. Do people think of this as sorts of back door entry to these schools? One needs to realize that doing an exchange does not equal to being an accepted student at those schools. If you make the decision to come to Asia make the most of it, exchange to a mainland China program or other Asian country.

for the original question, 95% of people would choose HKUST.

well, an exchange program is a good way to extend ones network - and in this case, have the opportunity to network with people from those two great business school.
although im not sure about the number you stated, HKUST is well reputed and ranked higher by the economist - at NR 11. but the applicants to places ratio is higher and they take in more students annually. HKU students also seems to find jobs faster after graduation, and i also like the fact that they require 3 years of work experience instead of just one.

Hi there! I am from Russia. Really interested in enrolling HUST, HKU or CUHK. Is there anybody here from CIS or Baltic countries?
Pls tell me how many students from Russia there are in Hong Kong studying in B-schools.

I am from Latvia, completed HKUST MBA this year, but leaved HK already. Send me a personal message.

Check out this interview with Steve DeKrey of the Kellogg-HKUST EMBA Program - there is some interesting general information about doing an MBA in Asia, about the economic situation there and of coures some information about the Kellogg-HKUST EMBA.
