About CUHK MBA   About RSM MBA
  

The first local university to establish a full-time MBA degree program back in 1966, CUHK MBA is part of the Faculty of Business Administration of The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Long a pioneer in business education, we have consistently received prestigious accreditations from highly regarded bodies such as AACSB International.

 

Consistently ranked amongst Europe’s top business schools, RSM is amongst just 1% of institutions worldwide to be accredited by not only EQUIS, but also AMBA and the AACSB. What distinguishes its MBA portfolio from rival qualifications is the strongly collaborative way students, professors, and industry professionals work together throughout the programme.
