What was the most valuable thing in my studies? It was not the certificate, but the knowledge obtained and the chance to put it into practice at work. I greatly appreciate the College’s foresight in realising that an MBA should not only provide students with theory, but, more importantly, with practical training and ‘in-touch’ knowledge of the contemporary business world. Thus, I always found the Professional Forums presented by successful business professionals to be of tremendous benefit. These professionals shared many interesting stories, as well as the secrets of success in the real world. The most precious moment came during the Residential Trip, as we had to apply what we had learnt to tackle a real business issue in a real company. On my trip in 2006, we visited a well-known telecoms company in China. We had the chance to study the company’s structure and discuss an enhancement plan with the company’s management during the ten-day trip. I would say that if we had not been studying on this programme, then we wouldn’t have had such in-depth communication and open discussion with top management. Tackling their issues really enhanced our learning. Another gain is the friendships made with professors. We felt we were friends rather than in a teacher-student relationship. The professors shared their insights with us, and we gained knowledge through discussions with them. We had many opportunities to learn and to put into practice what we had learnt. I have gained not only theory, but also knowledge and friendships with all-round professionals, which will benefit me and allow me to advance my professional career." Ms Locinda Loi (Alumnus: 2006)

After attaining the MBA degree at City U, I found some changes to myself. I was trained to think in a more systematic, persuasive and in-depth way. It really enhances my knowledge, widens my networking and equips me with the tools for further career development. The MBA study was enjoyable, worthwhile and memorable. I found it a wise investment to choose City U’s MBA programme since it has already achieved what I strived for. " Mr Edmund Yu (Alumnus: 2007) |
"The benefits of studying for the CityU MBA are still foremost in my mind. The practicality of the programme has always allowed me to maintain an edge over my counterparts. I learnt that the secret of obtaining the full benefit of the programme is by no means simply hard work; it is how much you put into the interaction with professors. A bit of essential knowledge distilled here and a bit extracted there, and I have gradually built up my own unique and refined portfolio and subsequently made my way to my current senior management role. Having witnessed many alumni doing as well, I reckon that the CityU MBA is truly an ideal ‘Country of Origin’ for my personal brand." 
"The CityU MBA programme is really inspiring and assists learning. Through interactive group discussions, I acquired the extensive knowledge and practical management skills needed to tackle sophisticated business problems. When I apply what I’ve learnt from the programme in my daily work, the results achieved are even better than expected."
"Having completed an MA in Electronic Business from CityU in 2002, I moved on to pursue an MBA degree, which was definitely a sensible choice. The Programme's dynamics and enthusiasm are comparable to those of my undergraduate school that I went to in U.S. Also, the practical approach and emphasis on analysis adopted by the professors really helped my future career development. With my first master's degree in the College of Business, I was granted credit transfers to the MBA Programme and gained my second master's degree in 1 year."
"I am really proud of being an MBA student from City University, as it equips students with practical knowledge and trains us through many ‘on-the-job’ exercises to enable us to be at the cutting edge of industry and the commercial world.
"City U’s MBA programme is an excellent opportunity for international students who are interested in learning more about business practices in Hong Kong and mainland China. From the visits to mainland Chinese companies during our ten-day Diagnostic Residential Trip, the Industry On-site Workshops and interactive classroom discussions, I was able to gain a better understanding of the business issues and work culture that are unique to Asia and the practical skills needed to handle them."
"Studying in CityU’s MBA programme has helped me greatly as a professional in the management field. The courses encouraged me to be systematic in my thinking, the group projects helped me to improve my coordination and presentation skills, and the MBA Enterprise Diagnostic Residential Trip gave me the opportunity to solve problems for an enterprise. Acquiring knowledge by studying cases, rather than simply by learning theories from a textbook, helped me to apply what I learnt in class to real business problems. The CityU MBA is a useful and valuable programme for those who want to improve their abilities and develop their careers."
"City U, located in the centre of the city, offers its students the highest accessibility. I was also attracted by its quality professors, advanced and all-round library and computer facilities to the MBA programme.
