Gone are the days when Hongkongers needed to head abroad for the best teaching. Last year six institutions from mainland China and Hong Kong ranked in the top 100 of the Financial Times’ Global MBA Ranking 2019. One relatively young institution making waves is City University, which ranked fourth in the QS Top 50 under 50 Global University Rankings for 2020, and 15th in the Times Higher Education Asia University Rankings in 2019. Now, CityU aspires to become one of the leading global MBA programmes. The course has been revamped in recent years and placed on a “progressive path”, says MBA director professor Kevin Chiang. “Our slogan, ‘We are SHARP’, implies our strategic commitment,” Chiang adds. “We are committed to fostering a business education environment with world-class software, state-of-the-art hardware and well-connected alumni, in order to boost global talent recruitment and to power them to achieve a career-advancing placement.”
