CUHK MBA helped me achieve a promotion and expand my job scope with comprehensive leadership and management training. After graduation, I was promoted to a senior management position. My job scope also expanded from regional level to global level, which includes the coordination of production, merchandising, sales and marketing, and more – all because the programme has taken me to the next level.

With a focus on China business context, CUHK MBA’s curriculum and student community enriched my knowledge about business in China. Through networking with peers and alumni, I familiarised myself with Chinese business culture and social etiquette that helped boost my confidence in building trust and relationships with Chinese clients.

In this era of entrepreneurship, the MBA at CUHK offers the right curriculum and skills for running a startup or excelling as an innovative employee at a traditional firm. I had ample chances to develop my entrepreneurial mindset, including working on a real startup project, remodelling it and raising money from real investors and venture capitalists. I also represented the school and won the HEC Business Game 2018 Strategy Challenge.

I chose CUHK due to the breadth of its business programmes and also liked the school’s rich roots in incorporating humanity, which is the foundation of good management. The alumni network at CUHK MBA is especially strong in finance, which gives me a rich understanding in banking.

One important aspect of the CUHK MBA was meeting all the different people in my class and most of them were professionals in large companies. They shared with me their management skills and practical knowledge, which paired wonderfully with the theories we learnt.

The entrepreneurship and innovative mindset that I learnt in the  CUHK MBA  helped me open up to all new ideas, step outside my comfort zone and start a business in a domain – logistics – which I had no previous experience in.

I am truly grateful to CUHK for my exceptional MBA education, especially for opening my mind and giving me practical new skills and knowledge to excel at work. Going back to school after working for some years has also been the right decision, as I came with clearer goals and a better understanding of my strengths.

I have a strong belief that I am chasing a goal that is larger than life. Such a vision drives me to move ahead. It may take quite some time to reach my destination, but I know it’s vital to get myself geared up for any ups and downs throughout this journey. Earning an MBA is a wise move. It certainly makes me sharper.
