Competence and the ability to create value are crucial in the new economy. Hence, the MScEBKM (Master of Science in Electronic Business and Knowledge Management) programme is designed to give you maximum value. This is not an "off-the-shelf" programme. Instead, we offer you a very strong curriculum, delivered by excellent professors in an effective and enjoyable learning environment. In addition, what differentiates this programme from others is that it is international with a China focus and is offered in both full time and part-time modes.

Excellent Professors

The MScEBKM programme is offered by the Department of Information Systems, which is the largest of its kind in Hong Kong and one of the largest and most active worldwide. Our professors are of excellent calibre. They master both conceptual and practical knowledge in e-business and several related areas. They have accumulated extensive academic and professional experience and are well versed in innovative teaching methods. In fact, several of our professors rank among the top IS academics worldwide and many have won teaching excellence awards.

Strong Curriculum

We are proud to offer our participants a very strong curriculum that is up-to-date, tailor-made and flexible. You will acquire and apply current, comprehensive and indigenous e-business knowledge. You will have access to a rich collection of courses that are tailor-made to deliver the latest conceptual and practical knowledge in e-business. All courses are newly designed and constantly revised by renowned experts.

International with China Focus

Our international team of professors will provide you with a broad perspective, consolidating knowledge and experience from all over the world. Many of your fellow students will come from China, thus lending their own mainland experience and focus to the programme. In addition, recently admitted students have come from countries as diverse as as Germany, Kazakhstan, Macedonia, Ivory Coast and the USA. Through both our international professors and the international student body, you will gain exposure to a wide variety of different perspectives on e-business. Finally, students on the the MScEBKM programme may elect to participate in a residential trip to China, where you will acquire hands-on knowledge about e-business applications in the mainland.
