In marking the 25th anniversary of the Kellogg-HKUST executive master of business administration (EMBA), all those involved over the years as first movers, professors, guest lecturers, administrators, students and alumni can look back with an enormous sense of accomplishment.

The programme – a partnership between Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, in the United States, and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) Business School – continues to set standards for senior executive education with its East-meets-West teaching approach and global perspective, and to attract high-calibre candidates from around the world.

Formal proof, if needed, of the success of the programme based at HKUST’s hillside campus overlooking Clear Water Bay, in the New Territories, can be found in the regular first place accorded by The Financial Times’ annual rankings – an accolade achieved 11 times so far, including the latest 2022 ranking.

The rankings, based on data provided by global business schools and their alumni three years after completing their programmes, take into account factors including salaries, assessments of career services, aims achieved, the quality of academic research, gender balance and the international diversity of both students and faculty members.
