Part-time MBA students complete 45 units and completion of the part-time curriculum normally takes 24 months. If desired, students can opt for international exchange/dual degree program to extend their studies up to 48 months. An option for dual-degree program with HEC Paris rewards part-time MBA students with two degrees from both institutions.

The CUHK MBA places great emphasis on preparing leaders for the digital age and keeping at the sharp end of technological developments.
