Globetraveler Joined: 26 May 2007 Posts: 60	MBA in Asia Thu Aug 09, 2007 10:23 PM 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.

Is still a top school in Asia and good international standing but they are under the radar in terms of rankings. 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. www.gsb.ateneo.edu/

In fact there are several very good programs, I think the following are even ranked, if I remember right: The University of Hong Kong (HKU) HK University of Science and Technology (HKUST) Chinese University of HK (CUHK) Hope that helps. Hello whats the GMAT score required for MBA in HKUST

pablo Joined: 25 Aug 2007 Posts: 4	MBA in Asia Sun Aug 26, 2007 08:10 AM 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.

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.

ckman Joined: 16 Sep 2007 Posts: 4	MBA in Asia Mon Sep 17, 2007 06:48 AM Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business is considered a rising star in Chinese schools. They have about 40 faculties with 24 full time members. Most of the CKGSB faculties have taught in top US and European business schools including the likes of Chicago, Stanford, Wharton, UCLA, UC Berkeley, NYU, Insead, Carnegie Mellon, Rochester, Washington at St. Louis, Cornell, UC SD, Penn State, UNC Chapel Hill, Ohio State, LSE, UBC, Yale, and other schools. In terms of faculty quality, this is the best school. They have exchange programs with Insead, Columbia, UCLA, Darden, UC Berkeley, Carlson, IE, ISB, Waseda, SNU. It is also the most expensive schools in China with a tuition of 250,000 RMB. Here is their web page www.ckgsb.edu.cn [Edited 17 Sep 2007 by ckman]

glennsaniano Joined: 05 Oct 2007 Posts: 1	MBA in Asia Sat Oct 06, 2007 02:28 PM 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. Hi! My advise for you, should you really want to take masters in management or masters in business administration in the Philippines, is to enroll in the Asian Institute of Management. By far, it's ranked 3rd in Asia Pacific region by FT and Asiaweek Rankings -> www.careerdynamo.com/asia_mba.html. While universities and schools in Hong Kong are good, this is by far viewed as one ideal school to take in MBA in the Asia Pacific Region. You may check their site at www.aim.edu.ph to learn more about their programs. Thanks. I hope this helps.

shawn.hk Joined: 31 Aug 2007 Posts: 45	MBA in Asia Sun Oct 07, 2007 07:59 AM I would have to respectfully disagree, clearly the best b-schools in Asia are located in HK, as illustrated by the latest Economist ranking: mba.eiu.com/index.asp?layout=2002rankings&rank_cat… 2007 rankings Criteria: Overall rank Region: Asia Rankings methodology School Rank (out of 100) Hong Kong University of Science and Technology -- School of Business and Management 20 Hong Kong, University of — School of Business 37 Monash University—Graduate School of Business 43 Nanyang Technological University - Nanyang Business School 72 International University of Japan - Graduate School of International Management 77 Curtin University Graduate School of Business 80 Macquarie Graduate School of Management 84 China Europe International Business School (CEIBS) 90 Chinese University of Hong Kong 91 Indian Institute of Management - Ahmedabad 92 National University of Singapore--The NUS Business School 94

ckman Joined: 16 Sep 2007 Posts: 4	MBA in Asia Mon Oct 08, 2007 06:45 PM I agree HKUST is now the best. However, CKGSM is moving up very fast. It is not in the rankings but look at the students and faculties they have. They are all a few notches above than their peers at HKUST

boots Joined: 07 Oct 2007 Posts: 6	MBA in Asia Wed Oct 10, 2007 05:39 AM I've noticed a very strong bias towards HK UST on this site that I haven't noticed anywhere else. I don't know if the bias is warranted or not. I have applied and would be very happy to get in, but, the vehemence with which it is promoted above other schools in the area (HKU and Insead) seems unfair. Plus, I am always a bit skeptical of too much promotion. The one criticism I have heard most often about HKUST is that it is very local, not just in make up but in focus and direction as well. I live in HK now but perhaps will not spend most of my career here, is that an issue? What about NUS? I have heard the most widely differing views on this school. Some have told me its the best in Asia, others that its not even worth applying to. Thoughts?

NUS is definitely not worth applying to, unless you dont mind sitting in with 70% of your classmates being IT Indian students, all smart but there is no diversity whatsoever in that MBA program.

PoPo Joined: 10 Oct 2007 Posts: 4	MBA in Asia Thu Oct 11, 2007 03:09 PM It is like half the people (or one person with half the handles on this forum) is smoking crack. Constantly I hear how great the HKUST program is from these boards, other than this board, HKUST doesn't exist. I am even tempted to think that the moderator or owner of this site is a HKUST grad or something. HKUST is the best school in Hong Kong for people that are stuck in Hong Kong. For a top candidate who is competitive for top bschools, HKUST is not a joke. Like many other bschools, it doesnt exist on the radar. For anyone that is interested in how HKUST really fairs, go to bweek boards. The economist rankings? Please... the only rankings that have ever mattered is Bweek, US News and FT (supposedly the best for international rankings). Comparing HKUST to INSEAD is an insult to INSEAD students. No offense, but almsot 20% of the class at INSEAD is accepted by the top 3 consulting firms in the world, these include McKinsey (the #1 ranked destination post-mba for top grads - except for Google this year). McKinsey recruits the most students (percentage wise and numbers ) from Harvard Business School and INSEAD. HKUST better than INSEAD? Fat chance. Please ask the same question in the businessweek boards, noone will even know what HKUST is. I realize there are a shortage of choices in Asia, and HKUST makes for a very good regional program. But the only world reknown program in Asia is INSEAD. And anyone who tries to sell HKUST as a viable alternative is really smoking sometihng very magical.

shawn.hk Joined: 31 Aug 2007 Posts: 45	MBA in Asia Fri Oct 12, 2007 06:10 AM Just by looking how defensive and emotional you got in your comparison of INSEAD and HK UST is telling me that the latter is much better than you say it is. Also, an argument can be made that comparing INSEAD and HK UST is an insult to HK UST students, at executive level that certainly is true as many "power brokers" in Asia go through the EMBA program at HK UST and INSEAD is nowhere to be seen at that level. personally i'm very glad to see HK becoming the center for Business education in Asia. HK UST is on its way to becoming a top school and HKU and now CUHK are not far behind.

Come on Shawn, that's just ridiculous. I think there has been enough cheap propaganda for HKUST in this board for the next years. Your way of spelling HK UST makes me believe you are the same person like Globetraveller, copernicus and AnalystNYC who have been suspiciously active in pushing this school. Let's talk about something else.
