hkumba Joined: 20 Mar 2008 Posts: 3	MBA in Asia Fri Mar 21, 2008 07:34 PM Hi All, Many applicants of the HKU Full Time MBA programme have certain doubts and queries regarding the MBA programme. I think the below mentioned points will answer most of their queries: In Education Experience, HKU MBA is ranked 2nd worldwide, ahead of many premier B Schools like Harvard, Kellogs, Wharton etc by the 2007 MBA ranking of Economist (EIU), one of the most respected and trusted MBA Rankings world wide. In the overall ranking the programme got 37th position worldwide... Rest, it is the only Asian programme in the world to come in the top 50 positions of an MBA Ranking (MBA Ranking of the Economist) consistently for 3 years... Here I would also like to highlight the fact that the Full Time MBA programme of HKU is able to achieve this level of world recognition even when it is a very young programme of only ~ 6 years... Rest, Please note: In the MBA rankings by Financial Times and Business Week, HKU is never rated because to participate in the MBA rankings of FT and BW, an MBA program must be at least 6 years old and HKU full time MBA being a very young programme will become 6 years old in this year only. Now, the education experience is given such a high rank because : 1. HKU is one of the very few B Schools in the world to have a partnership with London Business School (LBS) and Columbia Business School (CBS) for a ‘compulsory’ exchange programme in which the students of HKU spend one full semester with the MBA/EMBA students of LBS/CBS as a part of their curriculum. This provides the students with strong networking and learning opportunities… Students who go to LBS are given alumni status of the London Business School (excluding the placement services from LBS). Students who go to CBS are provided with most of the services that are provided to a normal MBA/EMBA student of the B School… 2. Programme structure in which students spend 9 months in Hong Kong (one of the top 3 financial hubs in the world), 3 to 4 months either in London or New York (proper Manhattan) and then 2 months in Shanghai hence, providing opportunities of great international exposure… 3. Good Faculty… Ranked 16th by the Economist 2007 MBA Ranking Worldwide… 4. Good exposure of China, one of the biggest economic giants along with Europe/ US… 5. A good mix of international students… The current batch which has a class size of some 50 students have students from as much as 11 nationalities… 6. Average work experience of students is 5-6 years… This contributes well towards a mature class room discussion and understanding… 7. The MBA programme is a part of one of the most reputed universities worldwide: ‘The University of Hong Kong’ in short ‘HKU’. HKU is the oldest university of Hong Kong and is ranked 18th worldwide by the THES-QS World University Rankings 2007… In other University rankings also HKU always come in the top 100 positions worldwide… 8. Small batch size of some 50 students leads to a greater students and faculty interactions… 9. Strong research centres focusing on Asian case studies and knowledge… 10. Being located in the main campus of University of Hong Kong, the students get full excess to all the facilities of the University Campus ranging from Main Library, Seminars and course enrolment in other University departments, University Festivals, Computer Facilities, Recreation Centres like Restaurants, Sports Complex etc…. 11. Accredited by EQUIS 12. Last but not least; the way the reputation of HKU Full Time MBA programme is rising, it is highly commendable… Even if it is a very young programme, of just ~ 6 years, it has attained a very respectable position at international level… This was all about the brighter side of the programme… Now, regarding the other side: 1. Now, about the most important part i.e. placements: One can’t expect as much luxury and benefits that one receives in premier Indian B Schools where 'On Campus' placements come as a major relief for most of the students. Like in most of the foreign B Schools, in HKU also mostly students have to go for 'Off Campus' placements. One should have good skills in Chinese especially if he/she wants to get a marketing job in Hong Kong... But, the good news is that initially the number of placement councilors in HKU were just 2 but from this year their no is increased to 5. This increase has come as a major relief for the students during the placements. 2. The ROI (Return on Investment) takes some time ~2-3 years depending on the type of job a person gets as compared to the ROI from a premier Indian B School which takes ~ 1-2 year. This is because the total expenditure of HKU MBA is ~ 22 Lakhs in Indian National Rupees (including everything from fees, food, accomodation, travelling etc) as compared to an Indian B School which is ~ 7 Lakhs Indian National Rupees... But, the good news is that as the HKU MBA programme is just of 14 months as compared to a conventional 22 month MBA programme of an Indian B School, a person is able to cover the ROI much earlier than expected… Rest, in comparison to a good US or European B School programme, which costs around 35-40 lakhs Indian National Rupees, the net programme expenditure of HKU MBA is quite less: around 22 to 24 lakhs Indian National Rupees. Hence, the ROI from HKU is much faster as compared to the ROI from a programme of a US/ European B School... [Edited 25 Mar 2008 by hkumba]

I'm planning to apply for HKUST, NUS, NTU Is there anybody who knows about Nanyang MBA. Nanyang MBA is decent enough but slightly less favoured than NUS MBA in the Singapore market. However, if you are really interested in Singapore, my order will be - 1. NUS 2. NTU 3. SMU However, HKUST is better than all three above especially if you are more interested in Greater China or want to specialize in finance.

Thomas Joined: 03 Jun 2008 Posts: 76	MBA in Asia Wed Jun 04, 2008 04:14 AM Hi, As a European who want to study for an MBA in Asia, you should consider the MBA schools in terms of their international ranking by reputable publishers such as EIU or Financial Times. If you are coming from Spain, you probably would have heard of INSEAD and University of St Gallen in Switzerland. INSEAD has a campus in Singapore and it offers very good programme. You would probably be meeting many European students there because many of them do at least one term in Singapore during their MBA study. University of St Gallen has a joint programme with Nanyang Technolgoical University (NTU) in Singapore. The double degree programme is highly recognized in both Asia and Europe, and the cost of the double degree is significantly lower than a normal MBA programme in top schools. Finally, you might also consider CEIBS in China. This is the best schools in China and you can experience the Chinese culture more easily which could be essential for your future career if you intend to work in China upon your completion of MBA. Good luck! Kind regards, Thomas [Edited 04 Jun 2008 by Admin]
