http://www.bm.ust.hk/ug/programs/index.html
Full Time Program:
The HKUST MBA curriculum is designed to develop your ability to operate successfully in a global economy, and manage effectively in the Asian context. There are two main components: required cores (~60%) and advanced electives (~40%). We also provide three areas of concentration for those who want to specialize.
Required Cores
The required cores cover areas in Accounting, Economics, Finance, Marketing, Operation Management, Organization Behavior, Strategy, Communications, Business Laws and Ethics. They are arranged in three tiers – foundation function, and integration – to provide a foundation for further study in chosen areas.
Advanced Electives
Advanced electives comprise over 40% of the HKUST MBA curriculum, allowing participants to strengthen their expertise in particular areas of interest.
http://mba.ust.hk/ftmba/adm/requirements.html
Part Time MBA Program:
Part-time MBA core courses are run on Saturdays at the Clearwater Bay campus, usually from 9am to 6pm. Occasionally some elective courses are held in weekday evenings downtown.
The 120 part-time students will be grouped into two sessions, which will be about 60 students.
http://mba.ust.hk/ptmba/index.html
Executive MBA program:
The Kellogg–HKUST Executive MBA program is a premium educational experience devoted to upgrading executives’ knowledge and management skills. The program encourages participants to think differently, look at their operations in a new way and relentlessly question and challenge.
It is tailor made for senior executives in Asia who have attained positions of leadership in their organizations. It helps them to raise the bar and understand the challenges ahead in a global context.
Organized in short but intensive modules, participants take two courses each month. Courses cut across traditional subject areas, providing tools and techniques for solving complex managerial problems. Emphasis is on three specific areas of management skills:
• Behavior in learning organizations
• International management
• Managing groups of co-operating firms for international competitiveness
International Executive MBA Program:
The International EMBA (IEMBA) program offered by the HKUST Business School, attracts senior executives from Asia, in particular the Greater China area, who, with diverse cultural background and in-depth knowledge of their own unique business environments, exchange their views on topics of common interest while learning from the School’s internationally recognized scholars.
The 15-month IEMBA program’s classes take place in different locations in China, including Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Hainan and Shenzhen. It is an inspiring and exciting learning experience that will empower senior executives in Chinese firms or MNCs, with state-of-the-art business and management knowledge that has immediate applications at work.
If you are a senior corporate leader, ready for challenge and on the move to the next level, then the HKUST IEMBA Program will be your best and ultimate choice.
M.Sc in Management:
Four specialized masters’ programs are offered by the School. They are the:
MSc in Economics
MSc in Financial Analysis, Investment Management
MSc in Information Systems Management
MS in Global Finance – in partnership with the NYU Stern School of Business
Ph.D in Management:
The PhD programs are designed to enable students to gain a deep knowledge of management in general, and courses with concentration in a specialized field, and to provide opportunities for the student to do original, fundamental research in his/her specialized field. Thus, the first two years of the programs will normally be devoted to coursework, leading to the major field examination and a research paper. After that, the student will begin to write the thesis.
Each doctoral student works with an academic advisor to design a program of study that reflects the student’s interests. Course work requirements depend on the background and areas of concentration of the student. The student must also pass a qualifying examination, then write and orally defend a thesis.

MBA Programmes:
Full Time MBA Programme:
The Full Time MBA programs focus on a broad international approach to train managers, enabling you to manage complex business situations in all kinds of organizations. Their programs place a strong emphasis on enriching managerial skills and a clearly international outlook; you’ll develop strong decision-making skills, an excellent capacity for teamwork and a global perspective. You will come away with a fundamental set of values and a deep sense of social responsibility.
The ESADE MBA is designed so that you can develop management know-how as well as those managerial skills that will be most useful to you in the future. From the very first day, you meet your career advisors and coaches to create a plan based on personal and professional objectives.
The Full-Time MBA reveals business realities in a very practical way. Only a multidisciplinary approach (as opposed to traditional teaching in compartmentalized subjects) can reflect the real business world. The programme is structured in 5 stages and combines core courses with electives, thus ensuring the MBA meets the individual needs of each student.
http://portal.esade.edu/bs/mba/18month_mba/programa/curriculum?lang=ENG
Part Time MBA Programme:
The Part Time MBA programme is a decisive step forward in a student’s career, posing new challenges and opening up exciting opportunities.
The Part Time MBA spurs students’ personal development and careers. It also provides management training that gives a global, integrated vision of companies and fosters new business initiatives. One of the features of the programme is the way each student sets his own objectives and limits.
The Part Time MBA is a programme that strikes the right balance between theory and practice, and reflects the complexity of modern management. A multidisciplinary approach is adopted and covers all the functional areas found in companies. The specific training needs of each student are covered at the specialization stage, with over 100 elective courses to choose from.
http://portal.esade.edu/bs/mba/part_time_mba/programa/curriculum?lang=ENG

Executive Education:
Global Executive MBA Program:

Executive MBA:
The knowledge and practical experience gained on the Executive MBA program enhance your value to the company and its clients, allowing you to take on the challenges and responsibilities found in senior management.
The Executive MBA helps develop key abilities – leadership, communication, creativity, enhanced management style, intellectual rigor, and motivation of staff.
The program comprises five stages, avoiding the traditional approach based on “courses” and “management functions”. Instead, an integrated approach is used to tackle problems and the most suitable choices made in the light of the company’s circumstances.
The business world is a complex one, hence the need for various perspectives when seeking solutions. They strike the right balance between techniques and disciplines, and the practical application of concepts. Each stage of the program includes intensive week to cover a key management and personal development theme. Three of these are held outside ESADE. Two of them are study tours at top business schools in the USA and UK. The third week is dedicated to Outdoor Training activities.

Open Programs:

Custom Programs:
Standard programs cannot always fulfill training requirements. And companies are sometimes faced with the challenge of training not just a few individuals but entire teams. The situation can be further complicated when both these circumstances occur simultaneously.
ESADE Business School Executive Education offers organizations two comprehensive solutions to resolve this problem. Leadership Development Programs (LDP) are totally personalized, designed, and executed in close collaboration with the company and oriented toward building skills. In-Company Training (ICT), are programs with a company-focused approach, primarily centered on building knowledge specific to the organization.
Their main objective is to develop long-term relationships with organizations. To this end, ESADE Executive Education does not simply provide services and information, but works as a partner, advising companies on how to meet their training needs within their business environment and based on the organization’s global vision.
http://www.esade.edu/exed/programas_a_medida

Executive Masters in Marketing:
You are a marketing manager or a sales manager with ample years of work experience; you graduated some years ago and you think the time has come to fast-forward your competences and skills. Too busy accumulating significant experience in managing marketing and sales activities, you did not have the time to critically reflect on your experience and to compare it with that of others.
However, you believe that market orientation is a must for any company, and that sound knowledge is the pillar on which to build a successful career. You have drive, you have ambition, you have already developed a successful career, but now you want to make a leap forward. The executive master in marketing & sales (emms) is ideal for energetic, forward-looking young executives who want to reach out and acquire a global mindset.

Diploma in Commodities Market (DICM)
Commodities Trading is a global phenomenon and offers tremendous potential to market participants for both profit taking on small price corrections as well as to hedgers looking at managing price risk on account of price fluctuations.
In developed markets, futures trading are conservatively 10 times the size of cash market in commodities. If they consider the fact that in the US, where the futures trading is almost 20 times that of the cash market production, it would only be fair to suggest that their futures market would be a very large and deep market, easily many times more than that of the securities market.
