On 13 March, the School of Business, The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong (HSUHK) participated in the “Kaoyan 2026 National Postgraduate Admission Consultation Fair (Zhengzhou)”, engaging in in‑depth exchanges with final‑year undergraduates, parents, and educators from across the country.
The event attracted many students interested in pursuing postgraduate studies in Hong Kong, particularly in business‑related disciplines. This highlighted Zhengzhou’s pivotal role as a higher education hub in Central China, where top‑quality educational resources are increasingly integrated, making it an important platform for students exploring international study pathways.
Dr Jason Liao Engages with Students on Interdisciplinary Study Opportunities
Dr Jason Liao, Associate Programme Director of the Master of Business Management (MBM), attended the fair in person to address various questions regarding postgraduate study options. Many students were curious about pathways such as:
“Can I apply for a business master’s programme without a business background?”
“Is work experience required to pursue a management master’s degree?”
Dr Liao explained that as the workplace evolves with changing corporate needs, employers today value diverse academic backgrounds and cross‑disciplinary thinking. In response, the HSUHK School of Business has designed the one‑year Master of Business Management (MBM) to help students achieve a dual breakthrough—“developing a managerial mindset and enhancing advanced business skills”— laying a solid foundation for future career growth.
Open to All Academic Backgrounds: Nurturing Cross‑Disciplinary Business Leaders
The MBM programme is specially designed for non‑business graduates seeking a career transition and young professionals looking to strengthen their management foundations. It offers four study streams:
- Accounting and Corporate Governance
- Global Business Management
- Global Finance
- Marketing
There are no restrictions on undergraduate majors, and applicants from engineering, arts, or business backgrounds are all welcome. Regardless of prior work experience, students can develop management acumen, business competence, and a global perspective, building a strong competitive edge in the evolving job market.
Fully English‑Taught to Align with Global Standards
Many participants from engineering and law backgrounds expressed strong interest in studying the MBM in Hong Kong. Dr Liao highlighted that the programme is delivered in English, aligning with international business education standards and enabling students to seamlessly connect with overseas study opportunities and global career development.
With its AACSB International accreditation, the School of Business at HSUHK ranks among the top 6% of business schools worldwide. Situated in Hong Kong—an international financial centre—the School enjoys unique advantages in both learning and career development, attracting top talent from Mainland China and beyond.
Inspiring the Next Generation through Forward‑Looking Management Education
“Our goal is to support motivated young individuals who aspire to grow but are uncertain about their next step—bridging their journey from undergraduate study to managerial careers,” said Dr Liao.
As generative AI and digital finance continue to transform the business landscape, the HSUHK Master of Business Management (MBM) remains committed to nurturing future‑ready business leaders with strategic thinking, innovative vision, and practical capabilities—empowering Mainland students to embrace global opportunities with an international mindset.
