Why Hong Kong is among the best cities offering EMBA and DBA degrees

Hong Kong’s professional education sector is still among the best in the world. The city’s status as an international metropolis puts its universities at an advantage when it comes to professional education, as the business world has become increasingly globalised.

The city is home to some of the most prestigious and established, as well as up-and-coming, business schools in the world, offering great executive MBA (EMBA) and doctorate of business administration (DBA) degrees for experienced professionals looking to take their careers to the next level.

One example is the Baptist University (HKBU) DBA, which has quickly grown into a world-class programme.

“The HKBU DBA is a well-structured professional doctorate programme designed for practising managers and professionals who aspire to be practitioner-scholars who are not only steeped in management theories, but also have a high calibre of business execution,” says DBA programme director and HKBU associate professor Dr Wu Wei-ping.

He adds that the programme gives managers and professionals an opportunity to experience rigorous academic challenges, develop their analytical and research skills, and broaden and deepen their management knowledge within the context of the latest research on business management.

“With the combination of taught courses and the application of rigorous research methods, participants will learn how to effectively lead change, make strategic decisions and enhance corporate accountability in the dynamic business world,” Wu says.
