Global Learning

Our curriculum stresses practical, cutting-edge knowledge with an international perspective. We break boundaries between local and global learning, and between theoretical and practical knowledge. Given the complex nature of the worldwide business environment and the needs of today's business practices, experiential learning or "learning by doing" enables our students to gain practical experience, which they can then apply in real-world situations.

Unlike traditional case studies with well-defined problems and measurable factors, our Global Learning experiences expose students to real-life and real-time decision-making, with a great deal of built-in uncertainty. As business challenges become increasingly multifaceted, such experiences cultivate students' cross-functional and cross-regional problem-solving skills, which are crucial for staying globally competitive.

MBA Enterprise Diagnostic Residential Trip

The Consultancy Trip integrates a significant part of students' learning by applying the knowledge and skills acquired in a new ambiguous situation outside Hong Kong. Students immerse themselves in a real-life Asian business environment to assist the partnering host organisations in addressing the problems and opportunities in their business. Initially focusing on Mainland China, as the business in Asia has become more inter-regional, the consultative visits have taken place in countries as varied as South Korea, Cambodia, and Malaysia.

Entrepreneurship and Venture Plan Development 

Partnering with the University of California, Berkeley, the Entrepreneurship Workshop allows our students to spend about two weeks in San Francisco Bay Area and learn from Berkeley faculty and entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley through seminars and visits to innovative companies such as Ford, Google, and Salesforce. Students put their learning into practice by developing a comprehensive business plan to venture capitalists for genuine evaluation.

Global Brand Management Workshop

Collaborating with Imperial College London, the Brand Management Workshop offered students opportunities to work on company projects for iconic brands over the years, including luxury car maker Bentley, supermarket chain Tesco, and the Edwardian Hotels. Students participate in experimental methods and laboratory-based discoveries to test and transform original ideas into real business propositions.

Industry On-site Workshop

The Industry On-site Workshop gives students first-hand exposure to real working environments in Hong Kong, Mainland China, and Asian cities nearby. The Workshop contributes a holistic learning opportunity for students to understand current trends in the Asian market, working scenarios of different industries, and best business practices or new technologies performed at the workplace.
