Ancalagon The Black Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 If you plan on staying in Asia then HKUST would be the better option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelvin8866 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I got an admit from Duke MBA.

Duke is very well regarded school, and HK-UST is a well ranked school. There's a big difference. With HK-UST, you'll be joining a school which is known in the HK business community, but not much beyond that. With Duke, the school is known around the world. HK-UST has really focussed on climbing the rankings but theres not much substance behind the rankings. Also note HK-UST is falling, and will fall further, in the rankings as the Financial Times recently changed the way they evaluate the international element of MBA programs. HK-UST is strong in finance and to a lesser extent marketing, but weak in the others areas (esp consulting - last year, just one student out of 240 went to a top consulting firm). Very low student satisfaction with campus accommodation, careers, alumni interaction and student admin services.Recruiting support at HK-UST is very very weak (they have lost 3 heads of careers services in 3 years). MBA job outcomes are not strong either - but the statistics look good because many mainland Chinese students enter the program with mainland Chinese salaries (extremely low by western standard) and get offers in HK which are low by normal standards but high on a percentage increase basis. I think your choice is clear, but if you wanted to work in HK (and don't care to much about salary) HK-UST would be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
