HKUST SZ Part-Time MBA Program Q&A

qwertas

Hi, thanks for all your precious sharing.  If the degree gained by this program is identical to that of HKUST FT/PT program taught in HK, I cannot see why and how it would be denied by the government.  On the other hand, for the program itself, even though most of us consider the value of a 1-tier MBA program comes from lots of aspects, we’ll have more confidence if it could demonstrate us its power, influence, and reputation, etc by the admission of the government.  Or, maybe the education department does not admit any program offered solely by a ‘foreign’ university but taught in China?

看了shrekwind的发言, 我突然想起上星期六在赶上课的电梯里碰到的那位阿姨,她的问题是"你们香港科大的MBA是双证的吗?"

不知道中欧与香港科大的MBA政府是否同样看待，我想知道，香港科大深圳PT班有没有毕业生去到一些顶级的公司呢？比如一些大的投行或者TOP的咨询公司呢？如果有，那么政府的承认与否就可能不是最重要的了。谢谢

我和深圳PT班的一些同学聊过，2006是60个人。他们平均工作年龄10年左右。来自公司Intel、HP、Ericsson、IBM、Huawei、UT、招商银行、Walmar、中移动，其中很多已经是公司的中高层，另外有一部分香港过来的人，由于授课和香港完全一样，所以有些在深圳上班的外籍人事。珠三角：深圳、广州、东莞、惠州的很多人都过来了，总体感觉这个班的人背景非常强。大部分是因为不想离开岗位所以选择PT。

 如果是这样的话，对读这个班的人来讲，是一件好事；我想知道的是，HKUST的就业报告中，是否只是香港全职班的，深圳PT班的毕业生对职业发展影响如何呢？谢谢。

HKUST的就业报告中的数据只是指的HK FT班。

hi, guys, just interviewed by Chris Tsang and Grace Liang last Saturday, I feel I performed not bad, but have not yet submitted my GMAT because i will only take GMAT 8th Feb., Any alumni or current student can tell me if UST SZ will make a conditional offer in the absence of GMAT result??

Hello cey23213, that's quite reasonable to me.  MBA admission is long time process and most student will not have their GMAT result till the last mins.  Rememeber I had the similar situation when I apply SZUST two year ago.  I did the interview before I did the GMAT test and I got the (provisional) offer before I got my GMAT result. Student even asked to pay the deposit once receive the offer letter.  You'd get full refund if your GMAT result fail you. Anyway be patient.  GMAT is a must, you won't get rid of it.  Feel free to call the office or email Chris/Grace sometime and sure they're welling to help.

Hello leontiff, 大多数的MBA学校排名都是根据FT student的数据，一般不会包括PT。我想是应为PT student没有FT student那么dedicate，一般都是不愿意放弃现有职业的。我认为FT 和 PT在未来就业方面有以下不同：

FT：多数是拿到Degree没几年的，在公司不是当高职，没什么opportunity cost, 多数是想通过MBA转 field。因此毕业后和毕业前的就职有很大的提高。

PT：多数是就职人士，不愿意放弃现有职位，只想在现在的Career上更上一层楼，因此毕业后和毕业前的分别不大。

If you plan to take PT program, donot expect too much.

To clarify:

It should be:"If you plan to take PT program, you have to bear in mind that the PT program would not bring you too much surprise."

You should have expectation to the MBA program or it is waste of your time and money.
