Alumni Spotlight

Having graduated from my bachelor’s degree in 2019, I was initially nervous about returning to academia, fearing my skills had grown rusty. However, the supportive faculty at HKUST completely eased that transition. The professors are incredibly dedicated, often going above and beyond to answer questions, even outside of working hours.

The curriculum itself strikes a perfect balance between academic research and real-world application. Courses like Marketing Analytics, Marketing Strategy, Brand Management, and Pricing Strategy offer practical frameworks that I can immediately apply to the workplace. I especially appreciated that several modules were taught by seasoned industry practitioners, which opened incredible doors for networking and job opportunities.

While the workload varies, it is entirely manageable if you are serious about your studies. Beyond the classroom, the program’s robust career services (including workshops, coaching sessions, and career fairs) equip you with the essential skills to land the right role. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to give their marketing career a powerful boost.
