Dean’s Message

The global economy has become increasingly complex and uncertain, influenced by evolving geopolitics and challenging market conditions worldwide. The era of uninterrupted growth, primarily driven by the rise of China and other emerging markets since the late 1990s, came to an end more than a decade ago. Today, multinational firms are cautiously navigating global investment decisions while seeking new sources of growth. At the same time, companies from China and other Asian emerging markets are pursuing opportunities for products that offer high price-performance value to consumers worldwide.

At the Hang Seng University of Hong Kong School of Business, located at the crossroads of East and West, we are dedicated to preparing our students to thrive in these challenging times and to serve as valuable partners to the business community. Grounded in our “Liberal + Professional” education model, the School provides a personalized and holistic educational experience for our entrepreneurially minded undergraduate and graduate students. Our vision is to become a leading international business school in Asia, equipping students with a global mindset, cutting-edge technological expertise, a deep sense of social responsibility, and an entrepreneurial spirit that empowers them to make innovative contributions to society.

As a newer entrant among the region’s established business schools, we strive to differentiate ourselves by developing unique strengths as a globally oriented institution. The School is experiencing rapid growth, serving nearly 3,500 undergraduate students and offering highly sought-after graduate programs in general management and entrepreneurship. Looking ahead, we plan to expand our postgraduate offerings with a particular focus on international business programs. We are committed to providing all students with hands-on exposure to global business practices through required internships, mentorships with corporate advisors, and international exchange opportunities.

Our faculty is also expanding, with high-caliber scholars from around the world joining us each year. While we continue to grow, we remain dedicated to delivering a transformative learning experience—both in the classroom and through real-world business engagement and impactful research that adds practical value to the region.

Though we may still be a “rough diamond,” we are confident that, with the dedication of our staff, faculty, and entrepreneurial students, we will emerge as a shining gem that brings value to the region and beyond. We invite you to join us on this exciting journey—whether as a family member, supporter, cheerleader, or critical observer—and celebrate our success together in the years to come.
