| HKUST MBA Ranks #17 in the World in Financial Times Ranking
The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology’s School of Business
and Management (HKUST Business School) today announced that its
full-time MBA program has been ranked by the Financial Times at number
17 in the world, the highest ever for any Hong Kong run program on the chart.
Four months ago in September 2007, the HKUST MBA was ranked by another
major international agency the Economist Intelligence Unit as number 1 in Asia
and number 20 in the world.
Among this year’s Financial Times list for the top 100 MBA programs, 7
are from Asia Pacific. The HKUST Business School is the only representation
from Hong Kong. The other schools include two from Mainland China,
two from Australia, and one each from India and Singapore.
The HKUST MBA program ranks number 2 in the world for “international
faculty” and number 5 in the world for the “international experience”
that it provides to students. In the Financial Times “research rank”,
HKUST places 20th in the world. The research rank is a rating of faculty
publications in 40 international academic and practitioner journals that
are considered to be the most prestigious and respected in their fields.
Professor Leonard Cheng, Acting Dean of the HKUST Business School, said,
“The Financial Times annual MBA ranking measures the performance of a
school and its full-time MBA program in 20 different categories. I am
delighted that the result of this comprehensive survey reflects the
quality of the School and our MBA program and reaffirms our leading
position in management education.”
Professor Steven DeKrey, Director of MBA Program, said, “Our MBA program
aspires to be a leader in the development of international business
talent. As reflected in the latest FT rankings, 84% of the participants
in the HKUST full-time MBA program are international students and it is
one of the most international programs in the world in terms of student
diversity. Our program also ranks number 20 in the world in terms of
‘international mobility’. This is very encouraging to us in our quest to
educate and develop high quality talent in Asia for the world.”

| Dear all my friends, I miss all of you so much and I am going to leave Cape Town today. Although Cape Town is a very nice city and I like it very much, I still want to return to Hong Kong because I think Hong Kong is really the place which fits me most. Certainly, another reason is I want to meet you all quickly. For those who worry me so much, I can tell you that I am DAMN GOOD now! Just get a bit darker and fatter. But I am still COOL!! The photo(below) I took today can prove it! 
Looking forward to seeing you guys very soon! Best wishes,
Lau |
