What's Happening

The HKUST Business School has announced a partnership with Belgium’s top-tier Vlerick Business School to launch a portfolio of double-degree master’s programs. These programs are designed to prepare aspiring young professionals for global leadership roles.

A New Era of Global Opportunities
We are proud to offer this double-degree option for students in three of our programs:
•    Master of Science in Business Analytics (MSBA) 
•    Master of Science in International Management (MIMT) 
•    Master of Science in Marketing (MScMARK)

Students can then pair their HKUST degree with one of five specialized master's programs at Vlerick Business School:
•    Masters in International Management (MIMS)
•    Masters in Financial Management (MFM)
•    Masters in Business Analytics and AI (MAI)
•    Masters in Marketing Strategy (MMS)
•    Masters in Innovation and Entrepreneurship (MIE)

These programs provide a unique opportunity for students to study abroad and earn two distinct master’s degrees. Graduates will become alumni of both global business schools, benefiting from combined career services and the extensive professional networks of both institutions.

As the demand for international career mobility grows, these double-degree programs offer an outstanding learning experience. Students will develop a truly global perspective by studying in two different locations and collaborating closely with peers from diverse cultural and professional backgrounds.
