Two schools. One world class. The Kellogg-HKUST Executive MBA program is a partnership between the Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University (Kellogg) and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology’s School of Business and Management (HKUST Business School).

A weekend program suited for executives. The 18 month program is carefully designed for busy executives. Most of the modules are scheduled during weekends so it only requires around 40 days out of the office. We have found this design has the least impact on an executive’s busy schedule.The program schedule includes 18 weekends and 2 live-in week modules in Hong Kong, a 10 day live-in module in Chicago, and global elective weeks in 6 partner school campuses around the world.

THE UNIQUENESS OF THE KELLOGG-HKUST EMBA NETWORK HIGH-IMPACT, LOW-EGO LEADERSThe Kellogg-HKUST EMBA alumni are a group of impactful senior leaders and experts in various fields and industries. They are renowned for their high-impact, low-ego characters and their willingness to help one another - personally and professionally.

A POWERFUL NETWORK FOR NOW AND FOREVERThe Kellogg-HKUST EMBA program builds bonds that last. While you’ll complete the program impressed with what you’ve learned, you will be truly amazed by the strength of the relationships you’ve formed with your fellow senior executives from across industries and continents, and the bonds formed are not just within individual cohorts of the EMBA program, but exist among all our graduates, who find they speak a common business language and share a common business culture.

TRUST IS BUILT UP IN A NON-COMPETITIVE, COLLEGIAL CULTURE The program has a non-competitive, collegiate ethos. Students are actively encouraged to share their industry and market knowledge and learn from each other. While trust is built up in a classroom atmosphere in which it’s safe to express ideas and doubts, students are encouraged to try even at the risk of failing. It’s because of this degree of trust and connection that our alumni, in many cases, have hired each other to conduct business or launch startups together.

THE CAREER BENEFITS OF A KELLOGG-HKUST EMBA LAST A LIFETIME

Ken Romaniszyn (KH07, class of 2005), took over a small cake boutique called Lady M in the year of 2008. With his still fresh MBA education, he looked at the business from various perspectives. Under his leadership, the once-distressed cake boutique has grown into a multimillion-dollar global operation, and expanded to 35 cake boutiques worldwide in the past ten years.

“I wouldn’t be here today without the Kellogg-HKUST EMBA alumni network. Some of my best friends are from the program. My current COO is a KH alum. He works for me now and he gave up a big job in China, because he believed in what I was doing and really wanted to help me grow.

The study at the KH Program helped me to set a direction about how we wanted to expand Lady M globally. I gained the ability to tap into the resources in Singapore, Hong Kong and China and learned from fellow executives. My learning really helped me to think beyond the United States and gave me the confidence to share it with people in Asia and the rest of the world.”

Ken Romaniszyn KH07 (Class of 2005) CEO Lady M Confections Co., Ltd.

A POWERHOUSE OF ALUMNI

SAINT-PETERSBURGAnastasia KozlovaCEO and Co-FounderEurope to East (Class of 2016)

BOSTON Ross Brownlee CEOHilco Vision(Class of 2007)

The Kellogg-HKUST program is truly world class with very engaging professors providing a valuable framework for real – world application across disciplines. Particularly gratifying was the intense time spent with a highly qualified and diverse group of classmates with whom learning, and sharing of both course and business challenges quickly became the norm. I subsequently moved to the US where plugging into the Kellogg alumni network has been of real value.

HONG KONGElsa RameauManaging Director - HK & MacauHermes Asia Pacific Ltd.(Class of 2016)

When you are a Managing Director, there are a lot of skills that you need to have. I have been in the same company for 15 years and at some point I wanted to keep learning and improving. I thought to go for more study would be the best solution so I applied for the Kellogg-HKUST Executive MBA Program. My company really saw the value of this EMBA program, which is the No.1 program in the world and all the valuable skillsets that I could learn from this program.

ISTANBUL Hakan BulgurluCEOArcelik(Class of 2005)

The admissions standards are really high, they don’t choose just anybody. The people who came into this program are already very special individuals, so there is no doubt that they are going to be the most successful people in anything they do. Whenever I have issues which are hard to solve, I find myself going back to the group of people that I did the program with, and the impact they have on my life has been tremendous.

I wanted to understand business in Asia and the local mentality - and of course the school has a perfect reputation around that already - so that could help me develop new patterns of thinking and new ideas to drive me forward. I think it’s amazing that 28 per cent of my cohort (KH18) are female. It’s really important because it changes the feeling in the class. I think the Executive MBA program is a beautiful way to communicate where women have their own capabilities and talents.

SINGAPOREMichael YueHead of Learning and Development APACGoogle Asia Pacific(Class of 2018)

Taking this program is also a strong signal to your company that you are ready for more responsibility. Many of the alumni and friends that I’ve spoken with have already transitioned into new roles which have more responsibilities. Some of them have switched to new companies, new industries. And for the brave few, confidently transitioned to start their own venture and business.

LONDONChiara CapitanioBusiness DirectorJ. Walter Thompson London(Class of 2017)

It was important for me to choose a brand that was globally recognized, especially given my international career.The Kellogg-HKUST EMBA program is the No. 1 program in the world with an amazing track record of ranking, faculty, and alumni network. I also wanted to look for a program with a diverse student body. This way you can study alongside a group of peers with unique experiences and a variety of perspectives. When you look closely at each of these elements, the decisionwas easily made.

TAIPEIK.T. LI Chief Counselor Lee & Li Attorneys at Law

(Class of 2003)

The innovative and practical approach of the course designs of the Kellogg-HKUST Executive MBA program encouraged me, even at my very advanced age, to challenge preconceptions and test new ideas. The program gave such invaluable perspectives, allowing me to look afresh at issues and identify solutions even more effectively.

SHENZHENDaniel Shih Senior Vice President Legal and Corporate AffairsGeneral CounselWalmart China(Class of 2013)

I wanted to be stimulated; I wanted to broaden my horizon. I was practicing as a transaction lawyer for about eleven years by the time I sent in my application and everything was good and was going well. I wanted to know more; I wanted to know more outside of my own expertise. Joining the Kellogg-HKUST Executive MBA program, I immediately connected to 50 different experts from different walks of life. Everyone is quality. You get to learn from every single one of them. I think all those further prepared me for what I have to do today and what I will need to do in the future.
