Program Overview

The HKUST MIMT program has been offered in partnership with CEMS (Global Alliance in Management Education) since 2013. Prospective students can pursue the HKUST MIMT Degree with CEMS Qualifcation (MIMT (CEMS)) based on their interest, qualifications, and needs.

Experience the world without boundaries! The CEMS curriculum offers students a diverse and international experience by taking add-on exclusive courses, academic exchange, practical international internships and business projects, and enhanced language capability.

The program consists of four terms, beginning with a summer term.  This is followed by the fall term, spring term, and summer internship.  Throughout the program, students have the opportunity to engage in an exchange program with one of the CEMS member schools, further enhancing their global exposure and cultural understanding.  Students will not only learn from HKUST but also engage with exchange-in students from other CEMS member schools.  This reciprocal exchange program fosters a true multicultural learning experience, preparing students for the diverse workplaces they will encounter after graduation.
