MBA in Asia
Posted Jun 08, 2007 14:02
one comment about Philippines and India: I did an MBA at HKUST and know students from CEIBS, NUS, Indian MBAs, etc.
Based on my insight Indian MBAs are for Indians only (for now). As a foreigner you are a real outsider. Additionally Indian MBa students tend not to have a lot of work experience.
HKUST in comparison is more international than Columbia in NYC where I did my exchange. In Columbia everything was American, whereas at HKUST you get a true global mindset. UST has an inofficial policy to admit 1/3 Chinese, 1/3 non-Chinese Asians and 1/3 foreigners. And you bet that if you are within the frist two categories you have to be either very intelligent or already have some time abroad from your undergrad or work experience.
would you say that HK UST has a reputation of being "Columbia Univ" of Asia? I have heard that from many people..
I have never heard of it and not sure what ir actually refers to. if anything i would call HKUST the GBS of Asia as GBS has a very clear finance focus to me (CBS has more general management as well). HKUST has its strenght in finance and china business that is for sure though.

Hi everyone!
What do you think about the City University of Hong Kong? Is it competitive compared to HKUST and Chinese University?
Thanks, Arun
an mba program from city university is not even close to CUHK and a mile away from HKUST in terms of student quality and diversity, academic quality, job prospects, etc. if you have a choice, don't consider it.

hey i have not too much time, but i would say as follows:
1) if wharton and GBS are a 10, then i rate as follows:
hkust:8
NUS: 5
CIEBS: 1 (ok generous a 2)
2) job prospects is very depending on where you want to work and what industry
CEIBS should only be considered at all if you speak mandarin. without, forget it. additionally it's only for jobs within China, preferably Shanghai. Salaries are not competitive to Europe/US (i.e. I heard from people working for 10,000 RMB a month after graduation, with 30,000 RMB/month you will do very well working in China and coming off the CEIBS program).
NUS: can be considered if you like Asset Management, Wealth Management or Hedge Funds, more and more of them move to Singapore. generally good prospects for graduates IN singapore. i have yet to hear from a NUS graduate finding a job in Hong Kong.
HKUST: good if you like true international banking/investment banking. has everything that Singapore has as well. most regional offices of big companies are in hong kong due to proximity to China but still being international.
of course you can find your dreamjob in every of these locations but it's all about chance and prospects.
I agree with CEIBS' description - Totally mainland focused, if you do not speak fluent Mandarin dont go there. Also salaries are ridiculously low coming out of there.
However, I have to disagree with what you wrote about NUS
My primary interest are Hedge Funds/Asset Management, and after careful consideration I have found HK UST to be by far the best school in this field. Latest figures show that Hong Kong has more hedge fund assets under management and growth is quicker than Singapore. When it comes to Long only traditional asset management, its not even a contest, Hong Kong by miles! As for curriculum its not even a contest between HK UST and NUS. NUS has basically one class about "Fund Management" and its run by someone who is working and lets just say that his work schedule conflicts with running the class. There is only one instance to consider NUS for any field and that is its location in Singapore, any English speaking person will feel more comfortable there, but if you are already focusing on Asia your goal should be totally the opposite!
There is not a school in Asia which even comes close to what HK UST offers in the field of Fund/Investment Management, not only do they have all the quant courses if you can handle them, but also all the valuation and accounting classes with Asian Focus. On top of that, the faculty is either Western Educated or Mother tongue English speaking and you can actually understand what they saying. Trust me its an issue with all the other schools!

overall NUS as an university is very good, but just comparing B-Schools, it is not, when compared to Hong Kong UST

Hello, I'm from Spain and I want to do an MBA in an Asian country, and I was wondering if (good) Asian prog. attract an international crowd as students like the European ones, or if they are more regional. Anyone knows how is the composition of classes, if I might might even be the only European student?
hola amigo!

According to your website you must be talking about IBS (ICFAI Business School), not ISB (Indian School of Business).

ISB and IIM certainly very good schools for someone wanting to pursue a career in India, but CEIBS and HK UST are better in recruiting and placements as well as worldwide recognition.

For MBA programs in the Philippines there is:
Asian Institute of Management - founded in the 60s with links to Harvard. Is still a top school in Asia and good international standing but they are under the radar in terms of rankings.
http://www.aim.edu/
Ateneo GSB - Is a top school for locals but not well known outside the country. Quality is good and the local elites send their kids here.

The University of Hong Kong (HKU)
HK University of Science and Technology (HKUST)
Chinese University of HK (CUHK)
Hope that helps.

Hallo everybody,
i'm writing from italy and interested in a MBA in Asia.
I'm not much interested in finance but more in project building/evaluation in industrial companies (i'm working in a electricity producer company).
F.i. I would like to work in international ogranizations like World Bank or Asian/african Development Bank following project in the industrial sector.
I was thinking about Philippines (AIM) and India (IIM), while HK and Singapore seems to me much more finance oriented.
About IIM, i don't know much about the average age of participants (I'm 31, maybe too old?) but the school has a very good international reputation (so far, much more than ISB) and probably there are few international students also because of the personal interview in India required for all the shortlisted prospective students. Many students are placed abroad (see the website).
AIM has good program mainly in development management, it seems to me.
What do you think?What do you suggest me?
thanks a lot

Hello whats the GMAT score required for MBA in HKUST
scores for all Asian MBAs are going up as quality of students is better from year to year. I would say for top tier schools you should be aiming at, at least 650 to be considered.

Thanks seppoo. In India NUS is very reputed. City univ is not well-known here. CUHK and HKUST are known to some extent.
NUS business school has some catching up to do, to join the top tier Asian Business schools. Currently in HK, that degree will not get you far in terms of quality jobs.
