Testimonials 

"The IPM programme I chose covers a wide range of subjects, but also focuses on "managing for results". I have benefited greatly from my studies at the University of Hong Kong. At ICB, there are no standard answers, nor are there any unilateral teaching, but rather inspiration and encouragement, "dialogue", independent thinking and real-world cases, and the exploration of the essence of management and methods of improvement. The strict attendance and rigorous learning encouraged me to be more self-disciplined; the open discussions and cross-industry clashes demolished the existing barriers and firewalls; the diverse workshops and enriching corporate visits have broadened my management vision and strategic development ideas. ”

“The journey of learning at HKU ICB is a bright chapter in the launch of your career dreams. I entered this academic hall with the ambition to deepen my business insights and refine my leadership skills. The programme is like a lighthouse, lighting my way to a deeper understanding of market dynamics. In particular, through the course ‘Innovation and Business Models’, I learnt to In particular, through the course ‘Innovation and Business Model’, I learnt how to accurately position myself and flexibly respond to the complex and changing business environment. I deeply realised that real success does not lie in following the trend, but in the combination of forward-looking vision and innovative thinking. This experience has not only broadened my knowledge boundary, but also inspired me to have unlimited vision and firm belief in the future business world. I believe that as long as there is a dream in my heart, there will be a road under my feet, and I will write my own business legend with practical actions.”

"The study period at the HKU Institute for China Business (HKU ICB) was one of the most grounding experiences in my life: for there was a goal and there were results. When I first started my business, I chose to study at the HKU ICB. While studying, I was able to reorganise my past work experience, reflect on existing problems, adjust my so-called "experienced" but backward methods with new knowledge, etc. The process was clear, and it was diligently lived through, and it was perfect. I thank the HKU ICB and the faculty for such a refreshing and wonderful development! I wish the HKU ICB to be better and better!"

"The word "addiction" is what a senior student from the University of Hong Kong mentioned when she shared her learning experience before I enrolled in the programme. So I was curious and slightly puzzled. It was not until six months into the programme that I understood what the state of addiction was. So what is it? In the class, case studies are used to help you perceive the world, perceive yourself, and upgrade your perception. Through a lot of discussions and training, different perspectives, different views, and different experiences, a variety of different thinking is brought together, which makes me very inspired and enlightened. Aiming for an A+ on every assignment requires reading and looking up a lot of materials, repeated self-affirmation, denial, re-correction and then finalisation. The process of transformation and growth is painful but beautiful as if a tight string is always pulling you forward, urging you on with a growth mindset, allowing you to become more refined, energetic and confident. I'd say that's a great addictive state to be in! Through practical application, I realised that I should have been exposed to HKU earlier, thanks to a group of excellent teachers with years of experience in international business management with a global perspective and wonderful lectures, which upgraded my cognition and broadened the breadth and depth of my thinking! While gaining knowledge, I am happy to have made friends with a group of like-minded students. I am grateful to have met you!" Thank you HKU!”

"It's been almost a year since I graduated from the IPM at the HKU Institute for China Business (HKU ICB). Last year's graduation ceremony was held in Lee Shau Kee Hall at the University of Hong Kong. Wearing a grand graduation gown, when I heard my name, then proudly strode to the centre of the stage, and was solemnly awarded the graduation certificate by Professor N.R. Liu, the Director of HKU ICB, I suddenly felt that all the nights spent writing homework, the weekend studying, and the project brainstorming had become very precious. The faculty members at HKU ICB are very distinguished, firstly, they are not young, but they all maintain a stylish body, which shows a high degree of self-discipline in daily life; secondly, they are all industry leaders, including many CXOs of multinational companies, so the lesson plans are different from traditional MBA, they are all an innovative combination of theory + practice + classics + contemporary. The must-have module for each month. Since it's a financially rewarding field of study, it's mentally demanding. Fellow classmates who are executives across different industries have clashed ideas in school but remained friends out of school, debate vigorously in class but combine resources afterwards; after graduation, they continue to interact with each other in the class group chat, have dinner and trips together, and return to school regularly for knowledge sharing activities.
