HSUHK holds inaugural orientation dinner and launch ceremony for first MBA (in Chinese) cohort
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 September 2026 – The School of Business (SBUS) at The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong (HSUHK) held the Inaugural Orientation Dinner and Launch Ceremony for its Master of Business Administration (in Chinese) programme (MBA (in Chinese)) on 29 August 2026 at The Rosewood Hong Kong, welcoming the first cohort of students into the University community.
In his welcome address, Professor Joshua Mok, President of HSUHK, highlighted the University's leading position in liberal arts education and its commitment to nurturing leaders who combine innovation with humanistic care to serve local and global communities. He encouraged students to broaden their horizons, care for society, and translate their learning into a force for social progress.
Professor Sam Park, Dean of SBUS, said, "As the first cohort and the earliest participants, this is both a responsibility and an extraordinary opportunity for all of you." He encouraged students to build an ecosystem of capabilities throughout the programme, learn to let go of outdated approaches and relearn, and develop the critical judgement essential in the AI era, becoming leaders who can responsibly harness AI and drive future business transformation.
Professor Victor Lau, Associate Dean (Taught Postgraduate Programmes) of SBUS and MBA (in Chinese) Programme Director, noted that SBUS at HSUHK is the first private university business school in Hong Kong to be accredited by AACSB International, placing it among the fewer than 6% of business schools worldwide with this distinction. The MBA (in Chinese) is the University's first business master's programme conducted in Chinese, with close to 220 students admitted in its inaugural intake. Professor Lau encouraged students to seize this valuable opportunity and work together with faculty and fellow students to build a vibrant culture, alumni network and future direction.
The MBA (in Chinese) aims to cultivate future business leaders equipped with business management knowledge, ethical leadership, environmental, social and governance (ESG) awareness, digital transformation capabilities, and an understanding of both Chinese and Western business practices. Set against the backdrop of the Greater Bay Area's development, the curriculum integrates the wisdom of the Chinese classic I Ching (Book of Changes), artificial intelligence, liberal arts education and professional business training to help students develop international perspectives, strategic thinking and cross-cultural understanding.
Distinctive modules include "Wisdom of I-Ching in Business Context", "AI, Data Analytics, and Robotics in Business", and "Finance and Financial Technology (FinTech)", enabling students to examine how emerging technologies affect corporate operations, management decisions and business models, and to explore shifts and opportunities in the new business landscape.
