Application Process Your application will be reviewed by HKU MBA admissions committee as soon as all the required documents and application fee have been received. As it often takes considerable time to gather references and transcripts, we strongly encourage you to apply as early as possible. Kindly note that limited seats are available every year and candidates are admitted on a continuous and rolling basis. As a result, spaces are filled throughout the admission period and there is a possibility that the class may be full before the final deadline. Not all applicants will be interviewed. Once suitable candidates have been shortlisted, they will be informed of specific interview arrangement. In general, the admission results will be available in 2 to 4 weeks after the interview; admission offers will be issued upon receipt of all required supporting documents.
Programme Selection (Full-time MBA) Students may state their preference to study the London track at London Business School, New York track at Columbia Business School, or the China Concentration track when they apply as well as when they are interviewed. Their preferences are not guaranteed. Final admission offers will be made based on merit, fit, and competitive student quality.
